Please recommend to Greatest Page, so others can find and make use of these points. Thanks.

This Saturday, March 17, March on the Pentagon for Peace and Impeachment

Make plans now to join hundreds of thousands of veterans, military families, and peace and impeachment activists in a nonviolent march for peace and impeachment, beginning at 12:00 at the Vietnam War Memorial (23rd Street and Constitution Ave. NW) and ending at the Pentagon.

Tell the Media About the March - And BE the Media Too

We know the Corporate Media will give the least possible coverage to this march - just as they have done with every previous anti-war and impeachment event. That means it's up to us to break through the media blackout using every possible strategy to tell the American people that the majority of Americans want peace and impeachment, and we're taking to the streets in huge numbers to tell the politicians in Washington!

Call-in shows (radio and TV) are a great opportunity to reach thousands or even millions. Carolyn Kay has an excellent list of progressive shows with times and call-in numbers:

For extra credit, call a rightwing show using media provocateur Mike Stark's list:

Be sure to prepare using Mike's tips:

Even more wingnuts shows are listed on the Republican Party website:

Progressive blogs have paid far too little attention to peace and impeachment activism, including marches. When you visit your favorite blogs, post a diary or simply comment about the importance of joining with large numbers of activists to take political action in the streets, not just blogging and hoping for change.

C-Span's Washington Journal deserves extra attention. Every day this week, between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. ET, please phone and express your views about peace, impeachment, and the need to join the march on Saturday. In particular, at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, March 12, please phone and ask the scheduled guest if he will introduce Articles of Impeachment. The guest, Congressman Ron Paul, is the only member of Congress who has said Bush should be impeached. Yet, he has done nothing about it. Invite him to join the march!

1. You should be marching at the White House, not the Pentagon.

2. There is a peace vigil at the White House the night before.

There was a march around the Capital in February. In 2005, the march went around the White House.
The march to the Pentagon is traditional now for the anniversary of the start of the military action.

The important thing is that people are marching. Thanks for the kick.

4. The White Hou$$$e and The Pentagon$$$$

Are one and the same. Interlocking organisms.

See ya' there

10. No, the WH and Pentagon are NOT the same. The WH is full of political...

appointees, the Pentagon has a room of them. That room, not the permanent Pentagon employees or the military hierarchy, wanted the Iraq War.

The military did not want this war. The Office of Special Projects - all political appointees - did, not the military.

for DU'ers? I would love to meet up with some DU'ers
