Grassroots Lobby Day -- Monday, Jan. 29

[demnan]

1. We have a bus coming up from Prince William County

that's about 30 miles south of D.C. with peacemakers, angry Democrats and assorted hell raisers.

The bus will pick up in Manassas and Lake Ridge. We have enough seats for 46 and will most likely have enough people to fill the seats but if you're interested, you can pm me.

4. I forgot to add that my state is Virginia

5. More info from an e-mail

Don't miss this opportunity to turn congressional anger at Bush's 'surge' into congressional determination to bring the U.S. occupation in Iraq to a close.

Join us in DC on Jan 27-29

The rally will begin Saturday morning at 11 a.m on the mall between 3rd and 7th streets

Sunday will be a full day of workshops, organizing meetings, lobby training and state caucus meetings. See the schedule here:
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=3485

Hundreds of activists will stay through Monday. If you are already planning to come, please take the time to register. http://www.unitedforpeace.org/modinput4.php?modin=121

What will we be lobbying for?
Members of congress are introducing new legislation almost daily, so we don't yet know which piece will be the strongest -- but our message will be clear -- Congress should use their power of the purse to cut funding for this war and occupation -- the war should not be expanded, and Congress should invetigate the lies that got us into this war.

See you in Washington!
Check out www.unitedforpeace.org for the ride and housing board, for volunteer opportunities and more. If you just can't make it to DC, there may be an action near you... visit the website to see.
