Upcoming Events - Tacoma, March 21 2009

---

March 19, 2009 will mark the sixth year of war in Iraq. The U.S. government has ignored public opinion and its democratic obligation to listen to the voice of its people. The U.S. government has refused to pull its military troops and contractors out of Iraq after it was revealed that Iraq as a sovereign nation was not a threat to the U.S. - it has no weapons of mass destruction and was not significantly connected to members of Al Qaeda or 9/11. Constant petitioning to end the war has been denied and the media refuses to give the war adequate coverage. The only option left for people who do not support the war is to assemble in the streets - to demonstrate the presence of antiwar America with such force that it cannot be denied.
Massive G.I. and people's resistance to the war, the only things powerful enough to bring the Vietnam war to a close, are the only tools that will bring the troops home alive and end the displacement and devastation of the Iraqi people. The war has gone on six years too long. If you oppose the war and want U.S. troops out of Iraq, if you want freedom from occupation and a chance at self-determination for the Iraqi people, you owe it to them to march in solidarity on Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 12 noon in Tacoma, Washington.
