Just over a week ago I proudly presented a rant by my friend Jenni White (from Oklahoma) here.  Well, the next thing I knew Jenni was in DC at the protest.  I was once again in awe of her spirit and determination to stand upon her beliefs and engage in spirited and peaceful protest and hope you will read the linked essay Jenni has written in response to the outrageous accusations she’s had to face from liberals just because she was there in Washington D.C. to exercise her right to protest peacefully.
