October 11

For immediate, unconditional withdrawal from Iraq!

We call upon everyone who wants an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq to join us October 11 for a special antiwar protest and vigil. On October 11, 2002 Congress approved the "Iraq War Resolution" granting the Bush administration authorization to invade Iraq, an internationally condemned act of illegal aggression. On Saturday, October 11, 2008, exactly six years after Congress unleashed the "Shock and Awe" plan for Iraq, we will be joining grass roots organizations across the country to send a message to the war makers in Washington and to the world: we want this war to end and we want it to end now! Bring your friends, coworkers, family and neighbors. The time to act is NOW.

Here is an excellent article on the October 11 Iraq War Resolution: Foreign Policy in Focus, "Five Years Later, We Can't Forgive or Forget", by Stephen Zunes, Oct 11, 2007

Join Us!

Public demonstrations of opposition to the invasion and occupation of Iraq are of critical importance in the effort to end the war and bring the troops home now. Rocklanders have been meeting for this purpose since before the war began. Please join us, if only for a few minutes. Your participation makes a difference.

    More Than Half a Million Dead in Iraq Due to U.S. Invasion

    The most reliable source of casuality figures in Iraq reveals that many hundreds of thousands of people, by now possibly more than a million, have died as a direct result of our country's invasion and occupation of that far-off nation, which never threatened the United States in any way, manner or form.
