Responding to President Obama's Tuesday night announcement to add 30,000 more troops to the 80,000 U.S. troops already in Aghanistan, close to a hundred demonstrators chanted and heard speakers denounce the government decision. "Jobs Not War" chants greeted pedestrians leaving the City Hall Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, as well as workers and shoppers on the way home, during the rain-dampened rush hour protest. |
