Wednesday, March 19 -- "5 Years Too Many" Protest!

Dear Friends---

Wednesday, March 19 is the 5th anniverary of this murderous, misbegotten war. We'll be protesting at the intersection of Route 12A and I-89 in West Lebanon, NH from 11:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m..*
Our UnSURGEncy protest in January '07 drew 50 people, three papers and two TV stations! (And we had great fun getting our neighbors to honk for peace!) I know that if you spread the word and come along yourself we can be 100 strong, 150 strong--- who knows how strong?!!
Last week, the Pentagon released a report confirming that there was never an Al-Qaeda/Saddam Link.
Last fall, Alan Greenspan said it's too bad we can't discuss the fact that the war "is about oil."
And for five years, our family and neighbors have been going off to fight in this murderous lie of a war. Some have come back. Some haven't.
And for five years, far too few of us have done a damned thing about it. Not even lift a sign or stand in protest.
PLEASE find a way to be there on Wednesday, March 19, and/or to spend some serious time e-mailing and phoning friends to spread the word. PASS IT ON. Tell them they'll enjoy getting people to honk and wave, seeing how America's mood is changing. I guarantee it'll give them -- and you -- hope.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing you,

Bill

*SE corner of the intersection, by the I-89 South on-ramp, close to the 7-Barrel Brewery. Please DON'T park in the 7-Barrel's lot, so we won't have trouble with them!

Join Us on Rte 12A Monday March 19,
to Mark the War's 4th Anniversary

Dear Friends---

Monday, March 19 is the 4th anniverary of this murderous, misbegotten war. We'll be protesting at the intersection of Route 12A and I-89 in West Lebanon, NH from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m..*

Our UnSURGEncy protest in January drew 50 people, three papers and two TV stations! (And we had great fun getting our neighbors to honk for peace!) I know that if you spread the word and come along yourself we can be 100 strong, 150 strong--- who knows how strong?!!

Maybe you haven't come out once during these four years. (Have a look on the right at our "Top Ten Reasons I Haven't Protested Yet" list.) Maybe you're wondering whether this nightmare will ever end. OK, let's put those two thoughts together: How's it going to end if we don't get off our passive asses and raise a cross-country commotion that'll shake Karl Rove's jelly?

PLEASE find a way to be there on Monday, and/or to spend some serious time e-mailing and phoning friends to spread the word. PASS IT ON. Tell them they'll enjoy getting people to honk and wave, seeing how America's mood is changing. I guarantee it'll give them -- and you -- hope.
