In that area, protesters are not subject to arrest. If you leave that area and walk toward the entrance to the base, however, you are subject to arrest. They have painted a green line in the crosswalk at the entrance to Vandenberg, which I was told is the line of entry onto Vandenberg property. If you cross that line, you are subject to arrest. It would actually be dangerous to cross in the crosswalk and stay on the outside of this green line. At any rate, no one crossed the line on Saturday and there were no arrests. A large majority of the cars driving by that gave any signal of interest in the protest, gave a thumbs up. Across the street from our protest, there were two women, who must have been in another protest area. They waved small American flags, as if to show that protesting missile launches was somehow unpatriotic.

I am proud to be a member of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. <br />What was different about this protest than the last one where peace activists were arrested and are being prosecuted? I was worried about what might happen to you. Glad to hear all went well!Lois Hamiltonnoreply@blogger.com
