Just like the September 11th of nine years ago this year's was also a
perfect late Summer day in West Chester, Pennsylvania. On this sad

from that principle. This resonated nicely with everyone that I spoke to
at the rally. The other participants were quite open minded and asked
many good questions.

I encourage all of my fellow liberty minded
peace lovers to join rallies such as this one. There is much we can do
to help end the imperial wars by working with people who may differ with
us on other issues.
