To the Pentagon and Wall Street, we must march

Michael McPhearson, executive director of Veterans for Peace and co-chair, United for Peace and Justice:

March 19th, the 6th Commemoration of the U.S. invasion of Iraq is less than four weeks away. On March 21st, two days later comes the March on the Pentagon mobilization and then April 4th, two weeks later is the Beyond War; A New Economy is Possible mobilization on Wall Street in New York City. There is much to protest and much to change.

The U.S. is in a mixed mood of Obama euphoria and economic dread. It is time to make our presence felt to remind the people, Congress and, most sharply, President Obama that the troops must come home now!

March 19th and the 21st will remind the nation that the United States of America is still conducting an immoral war: that Iraqis' and U.S. service members' minds are being torn apart and bodies maimed; that the sons and daughters of mothers and fathers are dying. More
