Anti-War Group Plans Strategy in U.S. Heartland

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Peace activists from around the United States gathered in St. Louis on Sunday, part of a three-day meeting to develop plans to pressure the Bush administration to exit Iraq (news - web sites).






The weekend gathering, which brought together representatives from more than 35 states and Canada, comes as the death toll of American soldiers there nears 1,500 and March 19 marks the two-year anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion.


The meeting was coordinated by United for Peace and Justice, an umbrella coalition of some 1,000 anti-war groups ranging from large organizations like Women for Peace and Black Voices for Peace, to local campaigns such as the St. Louis Instead of War Coalition.


"The way we support our troops is by calling for an immediate end to the war and to bring them home now," said Charley Richardson, a member of Military Families Speak Out.

1. Lets hope they dont think St. Louis is a heartland place.

I think they'll move around, but St. Louis is blue and has many African Americans and intellectuals, so they better move around.
