"Today was a great protest!! We met at 9:30 or so in front of the metro in chevy chase village about 10 of us, and walked together over to the church. We stood in front of both churches with our signs and leafleted the people coming out of mass.

"Then we walked over to Goni's house, about 5 min from the churches. we stood out front and took a photo and then Oscar and myself went up to his door.

There was a sprinkler on full blast that was soaking his front door (obviously they were expecting us!!) We turned off the sprinkler and oscar rang the front door and surprise noone answered. as we left a policeman pulled up and told us we couldn't solicit, we told him we weren't and we walked off."
