protest

ON THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of the Iraq Invasion, MoveOn held vigils all over the country at the same time. This video commemorates and captures the public vigil held in Eugene, Oregon to call for an end to the Iraq Occupation.

The latest video for my MTV Citizen Journalist gig.

Bush is coming a'campaigning to New Jersey, and Democrats are planning on "welcoming" the corrupt, dictatorial bastard with a protest. I am particularly encouraging anyone who can make it because I resent the sleaze ball ever since he sat dumbly by while NYC was attacked and has spent the years since exploiting 9/11 while at the same time publicly saying he doesn't care about catching Osama bin Laden. So, for our New Jersey readers:

For our readers in Colorado, I want to pass along a message from Colorado Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Ken Gordon, discussing two important issues: protesting the war and election reform. Ken Gordon is urging your participation in January 27th protests against the war and is asking your input regarding all-mailed voting. I urge you to contact him regarding these issues. If you do, tell him you heard about it from Culture Kitchen!

Iraq War Demonstration: On Saturday, January 27th at noon on the West Steps of the Capitol there will be a demonstration in favor of peace in Iraq, diplomatic solutions to the current conflict, and the safe return of American troops. For those who favor a change in the policy that our administration has been pursuing, and has proposed, this would be a good place to express your position. Bring signs. The demonstration is being sponsored by The Interfaith Alliance Policy Committee and I'm sure by the 27th by many other organizations. It is our intent to have speakers from the faith community, Iraq Veterans and military families. There is also going to be a demonstration in Washington D.C. on that day in response to the proposal to send additional troops to Iraq, for people who are unable to get to the main demonstration in Denver.

Please forward this notice to any list you might have and ask organizations with whom you are associated to publicize this event as well. The press will focus on the numbers of people present to judge the feelings of the community. If you have ideas for speakers, email Nelson Bock of The Interfaith Alliance at nbock6552@aol.com
