Richard: "Yes!"

Next up was a group of young people gathered around a speakerphone in Olympia, WA.

AYPV in unison: "Salinao Khush" (Happy New Year)

Craig from Olympia: "Even though I've never met you, it is a great honor to say hello and I send you my love."

Edward: "I'm here with 8 wonderful workers for peace and justice, all here to wish you a good year."

Young woman: We want you to know we love you; we praise you for the work you're doing. We have to bring all our people home"When I think of the war, I cry and cry and I know you do, too. No wars. No hatred. No evil. Happy New Year to you!

Maggie, calling from an internet cafà © in Vietnam: I came here to visit and help teach English. My class said to wish all of you peace.

Ali: Please tell your students to study hard, become engineers and be of service to people. And don't be subservient to people like Obama.
