In Silver &ldquo;Lake,&rdquo; the turnout was large--67 people were counted an hour into it (and by that time several had left). People of all ages participated. Unlike the demonstrations against invading Iraq in '02-'03, public response was overwhelmingly positive. The honking was almost non-stop at the busy intersection of Glendale and Silver Lake Boulevards and could be heard from blocks away. Also, there was media coverage by NBC and NPR. All four corners of the intersection were occupied. <br><br> The crowd was passionate. One participant made a trip to the west side to fetch a banner for this event. Due to the large turnout, the one-hour vigil (originally scheduled from 6-7) was extended by an additional half hour. <br><br> Various actions were planned at the office of Congressman Adam Schiff for Tuesday September 10 (5500 Hollywood Boulevard, near the Red Line station at Hollywood and Western).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"Pictures\/report: MoveOn vigil in Silver \u201cLake.\u201d","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2013\/09\/syriademolargenowarsignuncropped.jpg","filesize":"1.1 mebibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2013\/09\/261602.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2013\/09\/syriademolargenowarsignuncropped.jpg","small":"\/uploads\/2013\/09\/syriademolargenowarsignuncropped.jpgthumb.jpg","medium":"\/uploads\/2013\/09\/syriademolargenowarsignuncropped.jpgmid.jpg"}},"attachments":[{"id":261603,"heading":"Main Corner","article":"","author":"R.
