Prepare to rally tomorrow, Wednesday, May 2 to protest the president's irresponsible veto of the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill which contains a timetable for withdrawal. In Las Vegas we will meet at the Federal Building, 333 S. Las Vegas Blvd. at 5 PM, Wednesday May 2.
Check here to find the event in your area or sign up for ours. More than 200 are planned so far.
MoveOn, True Majority and Working Assets are co-sponsors along with many local progressive groups. Democracy for America chapters are alerting their members.
To add some flare, bring noisemakers or beat on pots and pans in tribute to our beloved Molly Ivins.
In her last column before she died, Molly wrote:
"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. Every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell... Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge... We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, "STOP IT, NOW!"
Check this link to see collected media coverage of our three events in Las Vegas. Our antiwar movement is diverse and patriotic, based on the values of working families and veterans. While many of us disagree with sending the supplemental rather than funds for withdrawal only, we take this opportunity to oppose the administration and galvanize public opinion.
