Saturday, March 15! Noon to about 3 PM.

Welcome in Spring! Shake off your Winter stupor with this energizing PEACE RALLY! Make your voice heard again, bring friends and family to let Washington and your community know that the never-ending Iraq occupation is NOT ACCEPTABLE!

Gore Vidal will be our featured speaker at the March 15 rally. Vidal is an internationally acclaimed author and activist. This is a rare opportunity to hear a legendary speaker who has spent over half a century writing and speaking on history and politics.

Location: Normal Heights community
Schedule:

Theme: "COSTS OF THE WAR" Ð The U. S. invasion/occupation of Iraq has led to well over 4000 American deaths alone; and roughly 30,000 American injuries. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died and millions have been made homeless. These are conservative counts! YOUR taxpayer spending on Bush's Iraq "adventure" so far has been $493,000,000,000. Again, this is a conservative count. And this grows by about $185,000 EVERY MINUTE! Think you're getting a tax rebate this year because of recession? Think again. YOUR tax obligation of the Iraq invasion/occupation overwhelms any rebate . . . with principal and interest, you, your family, and your children will be paying thousands and thousands for years to come, JUST FOR IRAQ. Your dollars poured down this black hole have surely been a major contributor to the recession, and the drastic fall in the value of the U. S. dollar. INSTEAD OF INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE, THIS WAR HAS "INVESTED" IN WASTE . . wasted lives, dollars, the reputation of the U. S. world-wide. It is truly difficult to overstate this horrible, horrible cost.

So, come out and let your voice be heard!
