============================================

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: ORGANIZE A VIGIL ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOR THE MORE THAN
1,000 U.S. SOLDIERS AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IRAQIS KILLED

More than one thousand young Americans have died in Iraq, almost seven thousand
are maimed, and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died. The President won't
mourn our dead, but we will.

Please join United for Peace and Justice, in coordination with Win Without War,
and dozens of other groups, including Military Families Speak Out and Veterans
For Peace, to say: Enough to Endless War and Suffering, Bring Them Home NOW!

TAKE ACTION: ORGANIZE A PEACE VIGIL THIS THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, 2004

Please help us organize peace vigils on Thursday night, to mourn for all the
people who've been killed in Iraq, call for an end to the occupation, and demand
accountability for the lies that got us into the war! We know this is extremely
short notice, but it is urgent that we stand together publicly to mark this
grim milestone.

We will remember the more than 1,000 US servicemen and women who have died in
Iraq. We will remember the many thousands of Iraqis--civilians and combatants,
men and
women, children the elderly--who have been killed. And we will remember that
these deaths did not have to happen.

We know that the current administration has plunged us into this unjust and
unjustifiable war, driven by greed for oil and lust for power and fueled by lie
after lie. We cannot remain silent!

We demand an end to the occupation so the Iraqi people can determine their own
destiny free from foreign interference
and control.

We want our troops brought home NOW. Don't ask these men and women to continue
to die for politicians' mistakes and lies. And we want them treated right when
they return. Give them the benefits there were promised and give them the help
they will need to heal their bodies, their minds and their spirits.

We will remember, honor and mourn. We will not forget!

We suggest you hold the Sept. 9 vigil at your local Congressional
representatives' offices or at the federal building in your town.

Post your event at http://www.unitedforpeace.org so the media and the world
will know about your participation.

We also encourage you to support and participate in the National Memorial
Procession, a trail of mourning and truth from Iraq to the White House, which will
begin on October 2 at Arlington National Cemetery. For more information, see

5. says a lot doesn't it?

how very, very sad.

[ibegurpard]

9. What's sad is

that many of these people are actually trying to bury stuff like this NOT because they think it damages our armed forces' safety but because they are worried it will damage Bush.

Thanks for the heads up.

Like ibegurpard says above, it ain't out of concern for the GI's morale, but rather to protect Bush, and that pisses me off to no end.

[NeoConsSuck]

16. Wow! Those two are rated really low..

BTW, what is the purpose of the ratings? What does it accomplish at Yahoo?

What can you say about people who suppress the truth about thousands of lost lives? We can say that they are morally repugnant.

And as for the ones who claim to be Christian, may their God forgive them for their sins.
