Four Years Too Many: Come protest the Iraq war that is now starting it's fifth year & honor the 3,200 soldiers that have given their lives for this conflict. Bring your own signs of protest or use ours.

So here we are, the country's opinion of the war has shifted, but the war still rages on. Now more than ever we need to continue on with this momentum and draw in the new people that are hating this war and help them to speak out along with us. We will be sending a printable flyer within the next week. Please print it out and post it at a grocery store, church, school, under someone's windshield wiper... just put it somewhere and hopefully it will attract someone new to our group.

If you get the opportunity, we think you will find this article from Time to be a VERY good read.

Support The Troops, Bring Them Home (TIME Article 02/19/07)

It deals with the issue of "supporting the troops" while wanting to end the war. Its a short article, but it puts into words the absurdity of keeping soldiers in harms way in order to show "support". The last line of the article tells it like it is...

"Ultimately, in the case of Vietnam, the antiwar movement included a majority of the country, and it saved the lives of untold thousands of Americans by getting us out of that war � not quickly, but eventually. If opponents of today's war in Iraq manage to do the same, it will be surprising if many American soldiers object. "

Pretty encouraging words for us "peaceniks", huh?

TWO more notes, and I will close. Peace march in DC on March 17th... if interested in carpooling down, let us know and we will put you in contact with someone else going.

Also, April 7th..... the Eyes Wide Open exhibit will be coming to HCC, so you may want to mark that on your calendar. We will send more info as we get it.

Peace to you all and we hope to see you on the 16th...

Susan and Mike
