4th Anniversary Iraqi Peace Rally
LICOPAC, LICKING COUNTY SDS, LICKING COUNTY AMERICA VOTES
Downtown Newark at the Gazebo on Courthouse Square
Monday, 19 Mar 2007, 6:30 PM
Site is handicap accessible. Bring signs and candles.
Message from host, Gloria Smith (smith.4942@osu.edu):
Americans across the country are more concerned than ever about our direction in Iraq. Now is the time for Congress to force a change.
On March 19th, thousands of us from organizations across the movement will gather together to observe the fourth anniversary of the war through candlelight vigils. We’ll solemnly honor the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 soldiers and contemplate the path ahead of us. We cannot send tens of thousands under-equipped and unprepared soldiers into the middle of an un-winnable civil war.
Join us at a candlelight vigil on Monday, March 19th. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.
To sign up for this event, here: http://political.moveon.org/event/iraq4/34386 or just come!

ANOUNCEMENT!
I as the official organizer of the Students for a Democratic Society in Licking County hope to work with all of you to make Licking County a better place for everyone, to make the USA a better place for everyone, and more importantly, make the world a better place for everyone. Now I know I am a 16 year old kid, and most middle aged adults who are able to vote dont think us students can do much to affect the US, however I feel it is everyones responsibility, not only those able to vote, to show the Bush regime that he has to answer to us students as well. He is failing us students, while trillions of dollars go into the defense budget, less and less money is going where it is truly needed, education reform. Our education is one of the worst in the world. Other countries are catching up to us and passing us by in technology, education, and economically. And why, because of their education being better than ours. Let us students help the voting citizens in this “war” on the Bush regime, and let us show the USA that students are just as capable as voters in that we can protest just as well, and we do make a difference! Students are the future, so lets not let Bush fail us! Bring our troops home, and lets not send any more of our beloved men and women to an already war-torn region. In closing I would like to say that I am proud to be able to say that I know you all, proud of what we can accomplish, and proud of what we will accomplish.
Our SDS will be having a meeting either January 20, which is a Saturday, or January 27, which is the following Saturday. I will be discusing the final date with our members! We will also be working with organizations such as LICOPAC, http://www.licopac.org/.
PEACE and Solidarity,
