Peace demonstrators saw more support than opposition from passing motorists Saturday.
The desire for an end to the Iraq War may be spreading in Charlotte County.
More than 60 peace demonstrators stood at the corner of Murdock Circle and U.S. 41 Saturday holding up placards with various slogans calling for the end of the war. They weren't alone.
"Honk for peace; diplomacy not war," read the two-sided sign Jean Ranalco held up. With every change of the traffic light, one, two, three or four motorists honked their horns or waved at the demonstrators.
