WAMM (Women Against Military Madness) activists, including former FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley, tell why it's important to go to the March 20 anti-war demonstration.

Out of Afghanistan & Iraq! Bring the Troops Home Now!
Foreclose the War, Not People’s Homes
No Escalation — Hands off Pakistan, Iran, Yemen and Somalia

In Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Saturday March 20
Gather at 3rd St. & Cedar Ave. on the West Bank in Minneapolis
1:00 pm March to closing rally, Bedlam Theater @ 1501 6th Street South in Minneapolis

On Saturday, March 20, 2010, anti-war protests will be held in cities across the U.S. These protests will mark seven years since the start of the U.S. war in Iraq with a call to end the U.S. wars and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and to demand funds for housing, education, health care and human needs.

1. That's my birthday. Forever marred by the invasion of Iraq, but I came first so

I tend to prioritize my own celebration. ;-)

5. Why not do both ???? :)

One of my best birthdays was attending a rally/protest on the "Peace Bridge" over the Mississip with
1200 other people.. a large group sang me Happy Birthday.

Beats celebrating at bar anyday

8. Chicago's Mayor Daley actually asked - Where are the anti-war protesters???

He's tired of sending trillions to the Middle East when there's not enough money for education. I thought that was amazing - some of the power structure is getting tired of these endless wars!
