Anti War Rally/9/11 Truth > JOIN WE ARE CHANGE
WeAreChangeSeattle.org
There is a big anti war rally next sunday in seattle. Anyone who can make should go down and show the antiwar movement some support. I will most likely be there but this is more of an announcement of a general protest rather than a scheduled meetup. March 20th, 2010 will mark the 7 year anniversary of the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan by the Bush administration.
With all the domestic issues we have been dealing with lately, it seems like many Americans have become complacent and accepting of our involvement in the middle-east but it's time to wake up and remember! It is now clear that the new administration has no intention of trying to remedy these grievous atrocities or hold anyone accountable for the war crimes that are still being committed every day in our names. Hundreds of billions of dollars, thousands of American lives and over a million civilian casualties are just the tip of the iceberg. The wide-spread use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus (aka. nuclear and chemical weapons) by U.S. forces are devastating the populations of these countries and will continue to poison the land causing birth defects, mutations and death for years to come. Not to mention the effects that exposure to these substances has had on the U.S. troops that are coming home with abnormally higher rates of cancer, radiation sickness and the ambiguous "Gulf-War Syndrome". We are committing murder, genocide and numerous other human rights abuses every day in violation of the Geneva conventions and international law and it is driving this country into the ground. 51% of you federal tax dollars currently go to fund these occupations while our country is drowning in debt! It's time to wake up, stand up and fight back against this madness! Join the march to end U.S. Imperialism and be part of a global day of protest! Bring your friends and spread the word! Let's make this the biggest protest in Seattle since the WTO! End US War and Occupation! Fund Human Needs!
