RAIN OR SHINE - Join Us September 25!
September 25 Rally to protest U.S. religious leaders “honoring” AHMADINEJAD at NYC Hyatt Hotel
Join us to raise your voice of conscience against religious appeasers of tyrant Ahmadinejad! On Thursday, Sept 25, at 6pm in New York City at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, The American Friends Service Committee, Mennonite Central Committee, Quaker UN Office, Religions for Peace, and the World Council of Churches-UN Liaison Office will be “honoring” Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at an Iftar (dinner to break the day’s Ramadan fast). Other organizations, political leaders and media have also been invited. Read the Text of the Invitation.
These religious leaders are about to betray their brethren across all religions, parties, and countries by “honoring” the tyrannical regime of Ahmadinejad and the Iranian mullahs of this terrorist state.
At the same time, Women United, the Jewish Action Alliance, Stand With Us, Center for Security Policy, the Catholic League, the The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Alliance of Iranian Women and over 30 organizations of all faiths and political affiliations will hold an interfaith rally to counter this betrayal of principles, to protest Ahmadinejad’s presence at the United Nations, and to oppose Iran’s nuclear weapons program and outrageous threats against the USA and America’s ally, Israel. See the full list of participating organizations HERE , updated daily. UPDATE - RAIN OR SHINE, THE RALLY WILL GO ON! WEATHER REPORTS DAILY ON THIS PAGE…
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been invited to speak along with many other civic and religious leaders and politicians, both Democrats and Republicans.
Please join us at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, East 42nd St, near Lexington Ave and Grand Central Station in Manhattan, at 5:30pm. PLAN EXTRA TRAVEL TIME because the large number of attendees will affect traffic near the event.
Send a message to the Mullahs in Iran!

These are the most naive AND/OR the most evil religious groups.
Any chance this could be posted under activism/chapters, so it appears at the top of the sidebars? The rally is tomorrow, so it needs some attention now. Many thanks!

I heard she cancelled/delayed her California trip but wonder if the rally prompted her decision. Do hope she plans to attend.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm losing patience with the whole bunch. I was raised in the American Lutheran Church which through a series of mergers became the evil, wicked, ELCA. They're in with this bunch up to their eyeballs. Mr. CGG and I left 14 years ago for the far more conservative Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
Unfortunately, we still have naive family members who just can't bring themselves to leaving. They know it's wrong but they have hopes of reforming the ELCA. One would think, that this latest travesty would be enough to wake them up that the ELCA is hopelessly lost.
Hey youze.
