SALT LAKE CITY, June 25 (UPI) -- Two Utah sisters took to the streets to protest gas prices after their mother canceled the family's cable TV to pay for her daily commute to work.
Sadie Vance, 9, and her sister Pyper, 7, paraded around downtown Salt Lake City carrying homemade signs and chanting "Lower the gas prices" accompanied by their father, Randy Doyle, The Salt Lake City Tribune reports.
"Gas prices are too high," said Sadie. "I just decided to come and protest so they'd go down."
The newspaper says the girls had marched in several protests with their parents, which is how they came up with the idea to stage a demonstration Monday.
Doyle said his daughters recycled old campaign signs and wrote their own messages.
Pyper's sign read: "All of my mom's monny (sic) goes to the gas tank."
