Star Studed Delivery of Moveon to the US Mission

I just returned from that action. The celebrities had a press conference at the Crown Plaza (Jessica Lange, Ethan Hawke, Steve Buscemi). After the conference, we joined them in a march to the US mission - surrounded by cameras. Once we got there, we got word that the boxes (of one million signatures) would be accepted. We applauded and left.
More interestingly, earlier on the Moveon delegation was received there at 8:30 with the petition. A dozen of Moveon members went and were allowed to make short statements to a very nasty belligerant mission rep (who according to them sounded very much like bush "yada-yada-yada Saddam must go" . One statement in particular infuriated him - when a daughter of missionaries mentioned God. Bush's man became aggressive: "how dare you insult bush's personal God?"
Anyway, the others UNSC missions also received the one million signatures.
