The March 20 bi-coastal mobilizations in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles are endorsed and supported by a broad range of antiwar, labor, social justice and human rights organizations across the country. March 20 marks the beginning of the eighth year of the U.S. war against the people of Iraq.

Only with my Ron Paul sign saying
"Out of Afghanistan! Out of Iraq!"
The organizers for this bunch mix foreign policy with their lefty welfare state socialist agenda, which is why they are routinely ignored big-time by the media and have never actually stopped any wars. They just march around in a circle on a Saturday in DC when no one is in town and make a lot of noise. I'd say joining Cindy Sheehan at her Peace of the Action camp has much more value. She welcomes everyone.
That said, I'll try to be there holding my sign saying "Ron Paul for Peace! Out of Afghanistan! Out of Iraq!" with a picture of Dr. Paul. The organizers won't like it, because they are pretty hardcore left. But you'll get marchers who'll say "Hell yea, Ron Paul!" because even though they may disagree on domestic policy, they've heard of his principled stand on the wars and love him for that. More importantly, the sight of anti-war left and anti-war right burying their differences for the sake of stopping the slaughter of brown people will strike terror into the heart of the Establishment, which relies on these divisions to keep us under control.
I'd love to see Ron Paul and Ralph Nader appear together again for the anti-war cause, the way they did on Wolf Blitzer in 2008 HERE. Now that would make news. (As a presidential ticket, could you think of a duo which could slice and dice the empty suits...I'd have shut my eyes!)

“The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence.” Dr. Ron Paul
Strange mix of anti-war and "gimme" social programs...
Is this for real...or another GB 912 type trip ?

The rally in December was real, although only 300 or so
showed up. Hopefully this peace march will build on that first one. There were many diverse groups participating, including a few YAL students and we Ron Paul supporters. Primarily it is a gathering to protest continuous war in Afghanistan and elsewhere. There are other agendas to be sure, but the peace rally is the primary focus, imo.
What happened to the anti-war movement?
When Ron Paul asked that question not very long ago, it stayed with me, because he was right when he said, the left left. But it appears that many of them had a temporary insanity, and are coming back! of course the majority of us, Ron Paul supporters, liberty loving patriots, consistently rallied for peace, and to end the wars! So thank you, Habit4ming and Qwerk, for the bumps! Here's one for the night crew!

Bump for the March 20 protest in DC.
We hope to be present again - last rally was Dec. 12, 2009.
