16 days until we all MUST take to the streets/ It's YOUR responsibility
March 19th marks the 3rd somber anniversary of the
illegal and immoral invasion on Iraq.

We have lost 2300 soldiers, America's best and brightest.
We are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of
innocent Iraqi's. We have wasted nearly 3 TRILLION dollars
of our tax money on this hapless misadventure, while our
own citizens in the Gulf Coast go without food, shelter, healthcare...

We must all take to the streets on Sunday March 19th to show our solidarity
against this administrations murderous policies NO EXCEPTIONS!

If you have to work, make a sign, stick it in your car's back window.
If you take public transportation, wear a peace sign! Paint one on
your backpack. If you have difficulty standing- bring a folding chair!

I expect to hear a March 19th report from each of you on what you
did to try and end this stupid war!
Thank You and
Peace
debbie

9. And you are too kind. I'm just doing my civic duty and trying to unseat
Zach Wamp again! (sigh). The fundraiser is for Terry Stulce, one of the Fighting Dems, www.terry06.com, and some of us in the 3rd Congressional District would appreciate all of the support that we can get. Whether it be contributions, a good word to someone, or crossed fingers. No more rubberstamps for Bush**!!!

6. Check out United for Peace for activities
There are some bigger marches coming down the road,
what they want us to do is get out locally and
be seen/heard!

11. My local peace and justice group has a gathering and march each--
year to commemorate the start of the war--last year's was very successful. This year we are having many of the same speakers (one in particular, Scott Schaeffer-Duffy, a member of The Catholic Worker organization, was arrested last year for praying on the steps of the Sudanese embassy in DC for the victims of Darfur and is still awaiting trial--he will do the same this year) as last year.

After the meeting, we march through the city with signs--the community is quite supportive, which is nice.

Also, lest we forget, everyone who can should attend the April 29th rally in NYC!
