I am a father of five and grandfather of four.
    I am a Vietnam era veteran and a former pastor of the United Methodist Church. Despite
    considerable evidence to the contrary, I still firmly believe that, as a citizen of the
    United States of America, I have a voice in the activities of our country, and that my
    voice can be heard and can have an impact.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://wtetw.com/"><P>On Saturday, November 4th, 2006 I began to put that belief to the test.
    Mindful of my constitutional right to petition my government, on that date I left my
    home in Lakeside, California to begin a walk that will end in Washington, D.C. I am
    carrying with me a petition I intend to present to both the executive and legislative
    branches of our government requesting that we, as a nation, declare an immediate end to
    the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9A56DA7F-7AE2-48D4-BC93-F898942C0F38/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
