March On the Pentagon March 17, 2007 Washington, D.C. On March 17, 2007 a group of anti-war protestors are planning to march to the Pentagon from Washington, D.C. The March 17th anti-war demonstration will assemble at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Gardens) at 12 noon in Washington, D.C. and march to the Pentagon. In order to ensure that the Wall and other Memorials in the general area are not defaced, like what happened at the anti-war demonstration at the U.S. Capitol on January 27th. I am requesting that as many Rolling Thunder, Inc. chapters, members and supporters that can make...

CRAWFORD, Texas - Anti-war demonstrators said Sunday they hope the end of President Bush's ranch vacation doesn't hurt attendance at their protest during the rest of the summer. They urged opponents of the war in Iraq to come to the five-acre campsite purchased last month by Cindy Sheehan, who resumed her protest a week ago. Sheehan's first trek to Crawford one year ago during Bush's monthlong vacation turned into a 26-day vigil that drew more than 10,000 people and spurred counter-protests by Bush supporters. A few hundred war opponents returned at Thanksgiving, when Bush was at his ranch, and again...

After months of fending off campaign attacks from conservative opponent Tim Walberg and his supporters, U.S. Rep. Joe Schwarz, R-Battle Creek, is hearing it from the left just days before Tuesday's primary election. Late last week, the Ann Arbor-based Michigan Peaceworks and several Ann Arbor area residents demanded that Schwarz, a moderate, distance himself from a campaign brochure that claims a bill he supported to keep a religious group from demonstrating at military funerals was aimed at anti-war protesters. The dual-sided brochure includes a picture of Schwarz and a man holding a sign with an anti-war message. It states anti-war...

Those cut and run Democrats By: RICK REISS - For The Californian What happened to the Democratic Party? There is nothing intellectual or patriotic coming from the party that once hailed such great leaders as Jefferson, Roosevelt and Kennedy. Here are some words from today's Democrats on issues of war in the face of Islamic fascism: -- "The idea that we are going to win this war is an idea that unfortunately is just plain wrong." ---- Howard Dean. -- "And there is no reason, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son's death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.

She stood up and was led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching." Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey,...

They were teachers and nurses, grandparents and veterans, students and retirees, and they gathered at Elton Gallegly's office Tuesday to let the Republican congressman know they oppose the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Three of them became the first people in Ventura County to be arrested over it. "I think our country is going down a very dark, dangerous path," said Norman Eagle, a 79-year-old retiree and World War II Navy veteran. "Simply because we are the only superpower, we are preparing to go to war all over the world in order to control the world's resources," Eagle said, as about...

All three have prior arrest for civil...

<p>WASHINGTON - As we prepare to watch President George Bush give his State of the Union address on Tuesday, we think back to Jan. 18 when Saddam's surrogates were in town protesting any use of force against Iraq.</p> <p>In scenes reminiscent of the anti-draft, peace-at-any-price days of Vietnam, some 70,000 demonstrators rallied, marched and orated in Washington and as many again were doing the same in San Francisco. There were smaller efforts in other American cities, along with shows of even greater anti-American enthusiasm surging in some foreign capitals.</p>

While our National Boarders are STILL unsecure and "Diversity" is still being programmed into our Children's minds as "our greaatest strength", while black on white people crimes are brushed under the rug, by our "unbiased" news media....I don't support the 'upcoming war'...One more thing too is that veterans are getting illtreatment from our "Government God", the Yankee(Federal) Government, who taxes everyone so that he can give to the parasites(LIke illegal aliens and people who REFUSE to seek a job) I decided to go and attend this march to see what type of people would be on which side. It was...

D.C. Peaceniks: Bush More 'Evil' Than Saddam Anti-war protesters rallying in Washington, D.C. Saturday say President Bush is more 'evil' than Axis of Evil kingpin Saddam Hussein, the man who's likely to become the target of imminent U.S. military action in coming weeks. Though the crowd made their extreme anti-Bush and anti-American feelings amply apparent as they gathered on the Capitol Mall early Saturday morning, most of the uglier sentiments were being filtered out by reporters and news editors intent on giving a sanitized version of the event. But WABC Radio's Curtis Sliwa, in a live report from the scene...

Both the House and Senate passed...
