Combat Rove's PR Blitz - Protest the war on Thursday!
End the war in Iraq - End the Occupation - Bring the Troops Home Now!

Thursday June 30
4:30PM
Hennepin County Government Center LRT Station,
3rd Ave. & 5th St.
Downtown Mpls.

Note there's an art exhibit and reception for "Iraq: Through the Eyes of Her Children" following the protest.

One-year after the so-called "hand off" of sovereignty in Iraq, the
occupation and war continue with no end in sight.

This week the Bush administration plans to start a public relations
campaign to regain support for the war in Iraq.

We will be out in the streets to say no amount of "public relations"
can change the fact that this war is wrong and must be ended.

The majority of Americans want the war to end and the troops to be
withdrawn. The majority of Iraqi people want the U.S. troops out of
their country.

Join a visible anti-war presence to say no to the war and occupation.

Initiated by Iraq Peace Action Coalition.

After the protest:

Art exhibit: Iraq: Through the Eyes of Her Children
Reception with Sami Rasouli:

Thursday, June 30, 7:00-8:00 pm
St Martin's Table
2001 Riverside Ave, Mpls
612-339-3920

The exhibit continues M-F, 10:00 am-4:00 pm to July 15.

1. Recommended rally sign:
Thursday is when the WH/Pentagon is being forced to release new images of torture at the hands of Americans.



More options and ideas for the "End the Abuses" campaign:

2. The last couple Thursdays
there's been people on the corners at Pilot Knob and Yankee Doodle Roads in Eagan protesting during the evening rush hour (not many but, enough to put people on each corner - hey, it's Eagan)

3. I think the visibility people are brave
They don't have a big crowd backing them up and yet they go out there and take a stand.
