I think it's time for another DU gathering at a DC Protest

[LynneSin]

I'm thining that Sept 24th Protest would be a great day for DUers to gather in DC for a day of protesting & friendship. We've had great turnout at 2 previous protests (Oct 28th, 2002 and April 25th, 2004) and I think it's time again for another one.

Who's up for protesting the war with me???!!!

END THE WAR ON IRAQ
BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!
Leave no bases behind - End the corporate occupation of Iraq
Stop bankrupting our communities - No military recruitment in our schools

Sat., Sept. 24 - Massive March, Rally & Festival
Sun., Sept. 25 - Interfaith Service, Grassroots Training
Mon., Sept. 26 - Lobby Day and Mass Nonviolent Direct Action and Civil Disobedience

More than two years after the illegal and immoral U.S. invasion of Iraq, the nightmare continues. More than 1600 U.S. soldiers have died, at least another 15,000 have been wounded; even the most conservative estimates of Iraqi deaths number in the tens of thousands. Iraq, a once sovereign nation, now lies in ruins under the military and corporate occupation of the United States; U.S. promises to rebuild have not been kept and Iraqis still lack food, water, electricity, and other basic needs.

A majority of Americans believe that this war never should have happened, but our elected representatives in Washington continue to rubber-stamp the Bush Administration's disastrous Iraq policies. They have given military recruiters nearly unrestricted access to our schools -- and the Pentagon nearly unrestricted access to our tax dollars. At a time when our vital social programs are eroding or completely decimated, an overwhelming majority in Congress recently approved Bush's request for an additional $82 billion in war funding, and there's already talk of another $50 billion appropriation this fall.

It's time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities! Join United for Peace and Justice in Washington, D.C. for three massive days of action against the war: a major march, rally, and festival on Saturday, September 24; an interfaith religious service and day of grassroots trainings on Sunday, September 25; and a large-scale grassroots lobbying day and mass nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience on Monday, September 26.

:shrug:

I can find really great hotels for about $150/night, which if it's the same hotel we used in October they fit about 6-7 people. (it was the size of a fricking apartment).
