It's time for the Iraq Moratorium
Demanding an end to the war through an escalating series of actions on the THIRD FRIDAY of every month beginning Friday September 21st

The slow motion train wreck that is the occupation of Iraq grows more nightmarish by the day. In 2006 the American people voted to bring it to an end. But the political process is moving glacially at best. We must force the media and the politicians to recognize just how angry and how massive anti-war sentiment in this country has grown.

It's time for the Iraq Moratorium.

The Iraq Moratorium will be an escalating, monthly expression of determination to end the war. Commencing Friday, September 21st and continuing the Third Friday of every month thereafter, we will encourage people to make a break with business as usual.
Join with millions to:

* Wear and distribute black ribbons and armbands
* Refrain from buying gas
* Pressure politicians and the media
* Hold vigils, pickets, rallies, and teach-ins
* Hold special religious services
* Coordinate events in music, art, and culture
* Host film showings, talks, and educational events
* Organize student actions: Teach-ins, school closings, etc.

STOP the War * Bring the Troops Home

4. Iraq Moratorium
  When I was in highschool I seem to remember a Viet Nam War
moratorium.Not only did we not buy anything but people didn't
show up for work or school.Across the nation people showed up
at their respective state capitols,by the tens of
thousands,instead.
