누우면 노숙, 앉거나 서 있으면 시위
기막힌 경우도 다 있지. 백악관 앞에서 반전평화를 외치며 일인시위를 하고 있는
스페인에서 건너온 할머니. 혹시 모를 사태에 대비하여 알미늄 헬멧을 쓰고
그 위에 가발을 썼다. 앉아 있거나 서 있으면 시위로 인정돼 잡아 가지 않지만
누우면 노숙이 되어 바로 체포된다고...그래서 이 할머니는 23년동안 줄곳 앉아서
잠을 자고, 아니면 서서 시위를 하고...스페인 태생의 콘셉션 피시오토(60) 할머니다.

Mr. President, meet your closest neighbor: Concepcion Picciotto.
The tourists come and go on Pennsylvania Avenue; the presidents, the inaugurations, the dignitaries and the political scene is always changing. But some things remain the same in Lafayette Park across the street from the White House in Washington, D.C.
Concepcion Picciotto is one who stays; through the rain and snow, the arrests, the abuses and threats; through the years. Since 1981, Concepcion, or \'Connie\' to her friends, has continued a vigil for world peace against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction ; and against all odds that she would still be here 16 years later.

The following excerpts are from the many articles that have been written by sympathetic and malicious reporters alike to give you a real
PIECE OF HISTORY:
I\'d like to take this opportunity to Thank the many publications and supporters over the years who have contributed their ideas, energy, and compassion to keep the vigil going. Any representation of articles is for the purpose of exhibiting the TRUTH, and to tell the story only, not for any personal gain. This web site has been contributed by friends. Sincerely, Concepcion Picciotto.
March 1, 1997.

\"I don\'t think there\'s any justification for not having that 30-day period:\' Bryant said. \"There\'s no articulated exigency.\"
In spite of their resistance, the Park Police and the Secret Service won the battle, and the protesters were forced off the White House Sidewalk:
Concepcion salutes the Park Police, Hitler-style, as they take the signs away.
\"It was disgraceful,\" she remembers.
Protesting on the White House Sidewalk had come to an end. A new way of life began for Thomas and Concepcion:

Beaten, abused, living rough, they stand like some moral Maginot Line on a permanent White House peace vigil..
The man and the woman-Concepcion Picciotto and William Thomas - live under the stars, exposed to the rain and snow, summer and winter, without tent or sleeping bag. They feed like the pigeons and squirrels in the park, on what comes along, sometimes from the nearby McDonald\'s or Hardees bins.
Advertising at The White House!?
Word of Mouth,Inc. A Newspaper
Dedicated to the Population Majority
VOLUME III An International Publication Based in Jacksonville,Florida,USA
........ a very powerful advertising campaign was launched in Washington, District of Columbia, more than three years ago. The marketing director was one of the growing number of women in the business of public relations. Except that she was hired to do a huge campaign, -- with no prior experience! She got the job due to connections. So, she was offered only the experience of the job itself--with no salary.

\"People just want to be heard\'\" Concepcion added;
Concepcion has learned that if you keep trying, some people do listen:
Reflexion grafica por Sally Hanlon:
Revista Maryknoll, March 1992 Cargando la cruz ajena
Concepcion Piccioto, oriunda de Espana, lleva 10 anon dia y noche frente a la Cas Blanca en vigilia permanente por la paz?
Concepcion Picciotto, a native of Spain, has spent 10 years [97: now 16 years] of her life in front of the White House day and night in a permanent vigil for peace.
What will I contribute to peace?
One of Concepcion\'s Fliers depicts the little girl, Sadako Sasaki, who died on October 25, 1955, from leukemia, \"the bomb sickness\", which killed many for years after the war. This statue was erected in Hiroshima Peace Park, in 1958, in memory of Sadako and the thousands of children who died at Hiroshima. Sadako is holding a golden crane in outstretched arms atop a granite mountain. The legend in Japan is that if you fold a thousand paper cranes, the angels will grant your wish. Every year, on August 6 --Peace Day, children come from all over the world to place paper cranes at the base of the statue.
The \"Regulations\" being implemented by the National Park Service have slowly, subtly, consistently pushed the First Amendment frontliners to the back of the park, away from the White House and the tourists, but the Park Police don\'t let up.
After Clinton\'s second Inauguration, we moved the signs back to the front of the White House, as we have done since Reagan\'s second term. The Park Police were rude, and said, \"No, you can\'t move those signs until the supervisor gives the order.\"
