Dictated by Peg:


Hello all of you - and thanks for sending me your email of Thursday Feb 22. It was good but I still have a few tweaks if you approve:

In solidarity with nationwide events marking the 4th anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

MAJOR PEACE RALLY IN ST. AUGUSTINE
Saturday March 17, 2007, from 10-12
Downtown Plaza at the base of the Bridge of Lions.

St. Augustine People for Peace and Justice (PPJ), Veterans for Peace (VfP) and Grandparents for Peace (GfP) will hold our usual third Saturday rally “Bring Our Troops Home” on Saturday, March 17 at the Plaza in St Augustine to mark the fourth year of the disastrous occupation of Iraq. Cities across the nation will hold similar events including a massive march in Washington DC. Our rally will feature street theatre, signs, the Peace Dove, the Peace Fairy and a march. Everyone who opposes this “war” is invited to stand with us and with tens of thousands of people all over America from 10 til noon.

Polls clearly show that two thirds of all American voters do not support either the surge in Iraq or the President’s conduct of the “war”.

The Founders of our country did not hesitate to put themselves out on the front lines for their beliefs. They knew their voices would count if they banded together for what they believed. We will speak out on March 17.

Do you believe in what your government is doing in Iraq in your name and with your tax dollars? If so, then stay home. But if you care about our more than 3100 dead troops and their families, our 25,000 wounded troops and their families, and the over 650,000 dead Iraqis and their families, then join us at the Plaza on Saturday March 17 from 10-12 and say NO. Bring a sign. Bring a drum. Bring a friend.
