WHAT: A long column of figures dressed all in black with white death masks and bearing the names of those killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. The march will be followed by a dramatic nonviolent action intended to awaken Congress to the need to end the wars.
WHERE: The march will approach the U.S. Capitol on Pennsylvania Ave. SE and turn north on 1st Street to pass between the Capitol and the Supreme Court, turn west on Constitution Ave. to pass the Senate office buildings, turn south to pass the west front of the Capitol, and turn east on Independence Ave. to pass the House office buildings. Members of the media wanting to cover the additional nonviolent action should meet representatives of the March of the Dead in front of the Supreme Court at 2 p.m.
WHY: “We will be conducting the March of the Dead as the 111th Congress is being sworn in,” said Laurie Arbeiter of the Activist Response Team, creators of the march. “We demand that this Congress end the terror of war, get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, stay out of Iran, Pakistan, and Syria and stop all support of Israeli foreign and military policy that results in massacres like the current one in Gaza.”
“The power to begin and end wars rests with Congress,” said David Swanson of AfterDowningStreet.org, “and the responsibility of Congress is to represent the American people. We have now for the second time elected a Congress to end the occupation of Iraq, and this time we will insist that it be ended. A treaty unratified by the Senate cannot legalize three more years of war. And the human impact of long-distance slaughter cannot be kept from the eyes of Congress members if we make up our minds that they will see it.”
No mention by these moonbats of those killed by Muslim terrorist attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan, India, Israel, Spain, the UK, Kenya, Tanzania, Yemen, Indonesia, or the United States. Funny, that.

This phrase automatically tells you a bunch of 60's far left fossils/moonbats are involved. I've been observing them since then.
When Jerry Garcia died, an entire generation of wandering losers were left with nothing to do. So now they diddle each other with silliness like this.
I wonder how much tie-dyed clothing is going to be flopping around underneath those black suits.
Progressive = Nazi or Communist and they are all anti-American pro terrorist scum. Curse them all!!!!!!
The “activism” of the past five years has been nothing more than a “second childhood” for ‘60s yay-hoos, aided and abetted by ‘60s yahoos in the media. Unfortunately, they’ve also recruited some young skulls full of mush to carry on for them.
I smell DIE IN!
Who gets to carry Saddam Hussein’s name, and the names of his poor boys Uday and Qusay?
I nominate Jack Murtha, his big fat cowardly ass is big enough to tack all three names back there.
Can’t these old farts ever have a BATHE IN? Now THAT would at least start to fix one problem in this old world!
These people are authentically mentally ill.
I Love it! The Left eating their own.
>>“We demand that this Congress end the terror of war, get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, stay out of Iran, Pakistan, and Syria and stop all support of Israeli foreign and military policy that results in massacres like the current one in Gaza.”<<
That statement alone “terror of war” makes me sick. It is a war on terror that they want stopped. I also liked the statement that this is the second time they have elected a congress to blah blah blah .. because they weren’t smart enough to realize they were wrong the first time!
..... I’m disgusted .. just disgusted.
I had to go to their web site and slam them.
It was all I could do to not puke on my keyboard :-(
Way to go!!
