Here is what OBSERVER has to say about today’s experience:
Well Heres my experience today:
First off I am soo proud to be in Boston Today!! Dave and Beth..You two are a huge inspiration for me!! Please keep up the fight!! We are here for you and we will never give up hope.
I think just being there we had a big effect. I could tell by the looks on peoples faces as they approached me. Kind of like seeing a old friend…Not all of course but enough Alot were there for the freebees. Some wanted to know what they could do to help and be involved..Some just said they will never go to Aruba they know the story.. Other’s had questions some had horror stories. Even had some food service guy at one time telling Natlees story to some canadian. Some lady in this mercedez stopped in traffic was jabbin her husband, goin nuts, pointing and obviously stunned. She was blocking traffic so I spent about 5 seconds with her giving her the handouts. I could see the tears in her eyes as she said justice for natalee and drove off. It seemed like the women were most Interested but a few men said Im here for ya my brother 100%.
I wish we had a thousand bumberstickers and more news coverage as I didnt want to leave at all. I know we made a diffrence but the potential is completely untapped..If we can get some news coverage from local boston stations that would be enormous I cant tell you guys what a huge market the Northeast is for Aruba. The ATA went all out for this one!!
Alot of people of course asked if I was related to the family. I had to explain that I was just a volunteer. Wasnt like me to be standing out in the cold in Boston protesting. But I am outraged and if you saw what this family went through you would be too. I told them to look into Natalee’s story and they will be shocked at the injustice.
We were all real gentle today in how we talked and why we were protesting today. Most everyone knows Natalee but not everyone knows the true injustice. Alot were stunned that they havent found Natalee. I think everyone realizes that it was Paulus and his connections, the Govt and not the good people of aruba. Even some of the ATA told us that. All in all a good day.
BTW: I did go to the aruba booth. I didnt talk to them in great detail about Natalee as two of the bloggers had a chat yesterday. But what they said pretty much was a bit surprising. I will let the other blogger tell ya as I dont want to get words mixed up. All in all they were nice people. Although only one person argued with me today and made a outrageous comment comparing what happened with Natalee is comparison to Our president. She happened to be some blonde working for ATA. Funny too cause I had a Aruba brochure and a guy came up to me and complained about her..lol
