Pro-America Protests Go Nationwide
If you heard the news of this past weekend's pro-Saddam protests in Washington, San Francisco and elsewhere, you probably wondered: Is there anything I can do to show my support for America and for the liberation of Iraq? Pro-American Americans, after all, vastly outnumber anti-American Americans, but we don't have communist front groups to set up events for us.

Filling that breach is reader Don Crawford, a talk-radio host at KLBJ in Austin, Texas, who writes to describe a very successful protest he staged this weekend:

Saturday and Sunday night, 8 to 10 p.m., during our show, we called for all the normal Americans who support the war against Saddam to turn on their headlights! The response was overwhelming. Numerous callers reported that every car on Austin's highways and byways had its headlights on. We received only one report of one car in all of Austin's roads that had it's lights off.

Next Saturday and Sunday nights, we are staging the same pro-war protest to show where Americans really stand. Could you invite all of America to join us in this very visible protest no matter the community in which they live?

Then we are going to call on all those who love America and stand behind our troops in their soon-to-be war against Saddam to participate in a motorcade Monday morning, 6 to 9, driving into Austin and filling up its roads and parking lots. We don't mean to sound arrogant, but we are confident that working Americans who cannot normally attend protests will overwhelmingly respond and turn Austin into one big traffic jam. Again, could you invite all your readers who live in metroplexes all over the country to join us in the Beat Iraq Motorcade for next Monday morning?

This is a great idea. Lately we've been hearing about how the drivers of certain types of vehicles support terrorism. We doubt that's true, but in any case, here's your chance to use your car to take a stand against terror and despotism. Let's drive Saddam out of power.
