PROTEST AGAINST WAR IN IRAQ on Thursday November 4! PLEASE JOIN US! Democracy Not Disenfranchisement!
November 3 (in Atlanta Nov. 4), on the day after the presidential election, no matter what the outcome is, people from all walks of life across America are mobilizing in their communities to go beyond voting and demonstrate visions for a truly democratic society. It is time to make the president - whoever it is - accountable to the people. WE have to DEMAND OUR GOVERNMENT to END its militaristic policies in foreign affairs. We have to demand our government to move toward nonviolent solutions for domestic and international conflicts. U.S. Department of Peace (HR 1673), sponsored in the House of Representatives by Congressman Dennis Kucinich has been introduced as an ALTERNATIVE and EFFECTIVE solution to achieve world peace. For more info go to WE have to DEMAND that our TROOPS COME HOME NOW ! To hear their personal stories and what they expect from American people go to : http://www.optruth.org/main.cfm “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will.” Frederick Douglass They are many reason why the US should Get Out of Iraq , But THE HUMAN COST OF WAR OVERSHADOWS THE REST. In a medical study published October 29, 2004, scientists have concluded that the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in the deaths of at least 100,000 Iraqis, "and [the death toll] may be much higher." It further revealed that most of the 100,000 Iraqis who died were killed in violent deaths, primarily carried out by U.S. armed forces air strikes." Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children," according to the study. The study was designed and conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad (The Lancet, October 29, 2004). WE can not insist that the intervention must continue because U.S. intervention caused so much devastation, the U.S. must now stay the course in order to prevent "civil war," "chaos," or "a blood bath." These were the same arguments that were used to justify the U.S. war in Vietnam. The mere presence of the U.S. troops is causing resistance from Iraqi people (population approximately 25 million), the great majority of whom are not insurgents, terrorists, and Moslem fanatics. They are ordinary people who are simply defending their lives and the lives of their loves ones, and are hoping that AMERICAN PEOPLE will force their government to end the occupation of their country by the U.S. military and domination of their economy by U.S. corporations!

Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government,they can exercise their Constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it.”
