Public Final Salute to the Fallen (except by AWOL Bush)

clipped by: ratcatcher2
clippers remarks: What could have been expected of an AWOL cold fish with not an ounce of empathy for the families of the soldiers that hed sent to their deaths for his LIES with illegal invasions. He nearly ran over Cindy Sheehan at Crawford to avoid commiserating with her on her sons death

He could not find time to attend any funerals away from his golf and playing with himself. He banned any public images of the final farewell, probably to disguise his absence.

Beyond War: A New Economy is Possible!

clipped by: nedhamson1
This past Saturday, April 4, in honor of Dr. King and his visionary Beyond Vietnam speech in 1967, 10,000 people marched on Wall Street to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to demand a larger investment in the needs of our communities. Labor, veterans, students, immigrant rights groups, military families, faith-based people, womens groups, and community groups joined us for a lively, vibrant march.

Joining us, too, was Rev. James Lawson, a leader to us all and co-worker with Dr. King. Speaking before the start of the march, Lawson said to marchers, In the spirit of Dr. King and the movement for equality and justice of the fifities and sixties, I say if we want peace to blossom, we must eradicate poverty, racism, sexism, violence, and greed in the U.S. Peace cannot come by crying peace. Peace can only begin to emerge when justice does.
