Two teens march lonely against war

[Tender Branson]

Two teens from opposite coasts are marching across the country for peace, hoping to gain followers and attention with each step.

Ashley Casale, 19, of Clinton Corners, N.Y., and Michael Israel, 18, of Jackson, Calif., had hoped others who oppose the war in Iraq would join them on their 3,000-mile walk from San Francisco to Washington.

However, since they started off May 21, it's just been the two of them for the most part.

They said most people have been receptive, even if they have not agreed with their position on the Iraq war.

"Our message is about ending the war in Iraq, but it's more than that. It's about cultivating peace in our daily lives and responding to things in a peaceful, nonviolent way," Casale said.

If they walk through Mississippi I'll join them for a while.

Hmm... I wouldn't exactly advise them to walk through Mississippi.

There's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't walk through Mississippi.

I think it was the intention of DWTL to show you a map ... and that MS is way down south. They are marching from San Francisco to Washington DC until Sept. 11, so they can´t go down to MS
