Mikaela sighs:
Ah, vindication is sweet. Finally! Another good sign that all is not lost in America.
Happy Holidays, everyone. Peace to all.
From Democracy Now:
A Colorado couple has won their battle to keep a holiday wreath shaped like a peace sign on the front of their house. Last week, Lisa Jensen and Bill Trimarco received a letter from the board of their homeowners association threatening them with fines of $25 a day unless they removed the peace wreath from their house.
The couple refused and as word spread, others in their town put up peace wreaths in solidarity. Earlier this week, there was a march of people carrying peace signs through the center of town. And a peace wreath has been placed on a bell tower in the middle of the town square. The town website also posted a message saying that it wholly supported the Jensen/Trimarco wreath and "also wishes for peace on Earth."
The three-member board has withdrawn their demand, issued an apology to the couple and resigned from the association.
