Lis­ten to radio com­ment by jour­nal­ist Lyra Hal­prin about our 2–11-07 No More Bro­ken Hearts rally.

Welcome!

We are April, Bill, Jane and Tom–

The NO MORE BROKEN HEARTS Rally

…was SPECTACULAR! As was the weather!

Protest musicians
The No More Bro­ken Hearts Club Band: Ter­ry Scott, Bill Ungar, Michael Pliskin, Kaye Reznick and Ani­ta Zuck­er­man Pho­to by Matt Pliskin

THANKS TO ALL WHO: cut out hearts, wrote names and ages of the fall­en on them, bought the cord, strung the hearts, spray paint­ed our bro­ken heart logo on signs, made the signs (with those smelly mark­ers!), sand­ed wood stakes, sta­ple-gunned 200 stakes to 200 signs (twice!), passed out fly­ers, emailed, faxed and phoned the press, email-blast­ed friends, met with the city, rehearsed the music, brought friends to the ral­ly, donat­ed water, donat­ed pens, came ear­ly to pitch in, picked up a sign, joined the march, waved to pass­ing cars, sent us pho­tos, sound and videos, and stayed to clean up. Whew!

We’ll be post­ing press cov­er­age of the ral­ly here as it comes in.

Did I tell you about the hearts?

45+ vol­un­teers cut out 3,000 red hearts and wrote the name and age of one U.S. fall­en sol­dier on each heart (see photos).

If all the hearts were strung togeth­er they’d reach 1/2 mile.

How much longer will this string of hearts get?
ENOUGH.  Our hearts are breaking.

Bring them home now!
