A growing number of organizations and individuals are working together to organize a large, spirited, and peaceful protest against Cheney, DeLay, and their policies of war, repression, and injustice. Bay Area New Democrats, Code Pink, Democracy for Houston, Gold Star Families for Peace—Houston, International Socialist Organization, Military Families Speak Out, Progressive Action Alliance, Progressive Populist Caucus, Progressive Workers Organizing Committee, and Veterans for Peace are united in our determination to send a loud, clear message of opposition to the war in Iraq; torture as a tool of foreign policy; the war against workers, immigrants, communities of color, women, and sexual minorities at home; the wanton corruption of the Bush Administration and Congressman Tom DeLay; Halliburton and war profiteering; and much more.

Protestors will assemble on the sidewalk along Westheimer near Galleria entrances 2 and 3 and spread out along South Post Oak, south of Westheimer. Organizers have arranged for security volunteers, sound permit, and a legal observer.

Interviews with members from any of the organizations can be arranged before hand.

1. CD-07 Cong. candidate David Murff plans on being there

"I will be at the event and look forward to speaking with you and the media about DeLay (who apparently is not welcome in his own district any more) and CD7's current representative, John Culberson."

Doncha love it when our candidates are on the front lines with us? ;)
