March on the Pentagon March 17, 2007

[thecrow]

On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was "From Protest to Resistance," and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.

In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.

The March 17 demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C.and march to the Pentagon.

1. You know, every Irish person should be there shaking a fist

...how dare they besmirch St. Paddy's Day with an invasion, the baaaaastids? They had a lot of nerve...

3. for me

it isn't so much that I dislike ANSWER's principles..I just think they should include more center-left speakers so as not to cater to a small minority. I iwll still be goign though.

5. The problem with ANSWER is despite what they say

they aren't a coalition, they are a front group. The one thing I like about going to antiwar demos is seeing the wide variety of people there. I have no problem with radical groups attending antiwar demonstrations or anything. I could go one with a long list of problems I have with ANSWER, but I'd rather keep this thread focused on the March on the Pentagon then turn into another ANSWER bashing thread.

of the bus trip.

8. I want everyone to see this

Two massive demonstrations in two months will send a clear message. Maybe the MSM will downplay the numbers, but the people in charge know how large they are.
