 IT'S THE 7th ANNIVERSARY OF THE IRAQ INVASION - TIME TO SAY "STOP THE WARS!"
 "CUT THE IMMORAL AND UNSUSTAINABLE MILITARY SPENDING!"

 

NEXT SATURDAY, MARCH 20, AT 10 am, corner of Main and High in Wailuku, join us for another old-fashioned peace protest demonstration, in solidarity with thousands of people across our country.   From Washington DC to Wailuku, we'll be out in the streets affirming the words of the great Martin Luther King, Jr.:

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

 

Meet at 10:00am in front of the State Building (corner Main & High, in Wailuku). Bring your signs, or use ours.   Bring the kids, neighbors, friends, veterans!  Everybody’s welcome.  Don’t forget sun protection & some water.  Stay for any length of time that you can.

The United States spends as much money on the military as the entire rest of the world combined.

How much longer can we furlough teachers, close schools, deny healthcare, bail out banks and precision-bomb wedding parties before the cost of our wars demotes us to the second class status to which Russia demoted herself, as a result of doggedly mismanaging its very own unwinnable Afghan war? 

Dennis Kucinich achieved getting 60 Democrats and 5 Republicans on March 10 to vote to END THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN.  That's a significant start.  Let's add to the momentum.

(Signmaking workshop at MCC Thursday, 12 noon - 3, place TBA.)
