Civic-Engagement: Democracy in Action: October 27
What
happened to the nation that never tortured?
The nation that wasn't supposed to start wars of choice?
The nation that
respected human rights and life?
A nation that from the beginning was against tyranny?
Where have we gone?
How did we let these people take us there?
How did we let them fool us?
Molly Ivins (1944-2007)
Cheney, Bush, & their failed administration must be held accountable.
This administration has abandoned our troops.
Our president ignores our
people commanders in the field.
This studious ignorance is tantamount to treason.

Let’s do Molly Proud! Saturday, October 27th,

We're
Going to Seattle--Are You In?
On Saturday October 27, people from all walks of life will
gather in 11 cities around the US in a national expression of
the breadth and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation. In the
Northwest, we'll converge on
Seattle along with delegations from all over Washington, Montana and
Oregon to say: We want this
war to end, and we want it to end now!
People everywhere want the war to end, but
Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month,
the Iraq disaster claims the lives of nearly 100 service people and
countless Iraqis as it drains 12 billion of our tax-dollars. Our
communities are neglected and suffer the consequences. We need to get
millions of people into the streets to show the world that change is
possible! PDX Peace has chartered buses to make it easy to
take part in this historic event.
We want to make sure there are
seats for everyone so we need to know right now if you are coming!

“We are the people who run this country. We are the
deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step
outside and take some action to help stop this war. We need people
in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, ’Stop it, now!”’
