Going to the anti war protest?
WASHINGTON – Organizers say thousands of people are headed to the nation's capital to protest on the seventh anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
A coalition of anti-war groups, led by military veterans as well as activists Ralph Nader and Cindy Sheehan, are scheduled to hold a rally at noon Saturday in Lafayette Park near the White House and march through downtown. Stops on the route include military contractor Halliburton, the Mortgage Bankers Association and The Washington Post offices.
The protest is expected to draw much smaller crowds than the many tens of thousands who marched in 2006 and 2007. But organizers say momentum is building because many people have become disenchanted with President Barack Obama's decision to send more troops into Afghanistan.

Yeah, but what the liberal main stream media WON'T tell you is there are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of people marching on Washington against this craptacular Health care bill!!!
As for the march regarding the war. I think our troops NEED to be there. So I won't be marching against the war. Besides, this is just ANOTHER LAME attempt by the liberals, progressives and Democrats to DISTRACT from the bill that could bring this country to our knees in record time!!! The war is not going to end tomorrow, but this great country as we have known it COULD!!!
PRIORITIES PEOPLE!!!!
By the way, maybe YOU should be organizing a rally to scream at your man OBAMA, since that was HIS "hope and change!" Or maybe that was just to get your vote? Mmm...mmm...mmm....!!! LOL
