statement in a public setting such as a picket line, strike, sit-in, protest, rally, press conference, town hall meeting, political convention, etc.?

Thank you for your answer.
:)
Nope.

Nope. My parents didn't exploit me like that. At 10 I was more interested in Pokemon than politics.
Actually, I'm still more interested in Pokemon than politics. :D
By “regularly attended”, are you referring to your parents or yourself, and if the latter, was it when you were 10 and younger?

I would estimate 9 years old, possibly 10. I seem to recall that we didn't get much of a reaction from passers-by, except from one dishevelled old drunk who cursed and harangued us for a few seconds - I couldn't make out what he was saying but he was probably accusing us of being communists. Another thing I remember was that there were some quite horrifying images on display of people suffering from radiation sickness or radiation burns (well, horrifying to me at the time anyway). One picture that really got to me was of a woman with hideous boils or tumours all over her face - if I'd been wavering on the nuclear bomb question before, that was enough to convince me!
And what about you, Randy? Did you take part in any public events of this nature?
No, I was never made to give a statement nor carry a picket sign.
