ORANGE — While Town Hall opened to early voting on Saturday, three local women, holding handmade political signs, gathered around the Massachusetts Peace Statue in Memorial Park.
Paula Botch, Laurie MacDonald and Ann Reed displayed signs promoting non-aggression and liberty. Two of their signs read “Give Peace a Chance” and “Make Pizza Burgers — Not War,” while a third endorsed Libertarian presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen.
Reed noted that the inscription on the World War I statue, “It shall not be again,” resembles a pledge Jorgensen has made. She said the third-party candidate’s “non-interventionist foreign policy” is outlined at jo20.com.
