Palo Alto, Califorinia
6:00 PM End the War! Vigil & Leafletting, Lytton Plaza University Ave. & Emerson St. Palo Alto CA 94301
Join us in marking the sixth anniversary of a war that should never have happened. We will hear from a few speakers and then leaflet passersby, urging them to contact the White House and Congress. With our economy in collapse -- and millions of people losing jobs and homes -- we cannot keep wasting billions of dollars -- nor any more young lives -- on two tragic and fruitless wars.

LET US NOT FORGET!
We are fighting two wars in which thousands of US soldiers have died or have been wounded and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed and wounded.
We are spending BILLIONS on these wars while teachers are not hired, houses are not built, and families go without food, shelter, and healthcare; and as an economic depression brings more and more unemployment, foreclosures, and despair.
Bring candles and signs that reflect your feelings about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, our spending priorities, and our economy.
Sponsored by: Justice with Peace Task Force of Watertown Citizens for Environmental Safety, Newton Dialogues on Peace and War, and Waltham Concerned Citizens. If you have questions, please call 617-926-8560, mailbox 2.
