ENCAMPMENT TO
STOP THE WAR
In Washington DC
Beginning
March 12
In the past few days, we have been contacted by thousands of people
from all over the country promising to come to Washington and STAY
to stop the war. Here is what some have said:
I would like to be
involved in a direct manner, I have nothing in my life I believe
to be more important than taking back control of our country
from the hands corruption and corperations, and returning
it to its rightful owners, let me know what I can do from
here!
I support you guys 110% on what you guys are doing!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up to now, antiwar demonstrations have
produced no results. By having demonstrators stay at the site
of Congress until it cuts off funding just might work.
I'll volunteer as much time as possible at the local level
and I hope to be able to come to Washington on March

Let us emulate the example of our colleagues
in Oaxaca,

DON'T drop this ball, no matter the
opinions of the big peace groups. They haven't been willing
to put out this kind of call and I firmly believe it is the
only thing that will work. We can do this if we unite.

Let's shut down Washington!Our votes
don't matter,so it's time for mass civil disobedience.It's
the only way we can stop this war.
