Description

2 pages printed from website MichaelMoore.com. Page 1 is entitled, "LET FREEDOM HONK!" It is a blog post written by Nancy (McGuire) Goedert about the Ferndale police arresting and ticketing protesters for signs instructing motorists to honk, and Ferndale City Council meeting she and the Raging Grannies attended to protest the policy.

Above the text, there is a black and white image of Goedert, wearing a white dress, large-brimmed hat with flowers, and a portable oxygen tank. She stands beside a Ferndale police officer in a hat. He is smirking as he confiscates her sign, which reads, "POLICE SAY DON'T HONK for PEACE, FREEDOM." There is a man in a white shirt and baseball cap, obscured by the sign. They appear to be standing at an intersection.

On page 2, there is another image from the same event; the police officer now has the sign. He is saying something to Goedert, who is holding a small American flag. The article is entitled "Honk for peace/freedom sign disturbs the peace" and the text summarizes the issues from the first page.
