I am going to the United For Peace and Justice March on Washington and I hope to see you there too

United for Peace : Saturday, September 24 Massive March, Rally & Festival

A majority of Americans believe that this war never should have happened, but our elected representatives in Washington continue to rubber-stamp the Bush Administration's disastrous Iraq policies. They have given military recruiters nearly unrestricted access to our schools -- and the Pentagon nearly unrestricted access to our tax dollars. At a time when our vital social programs are eroding or completely decimated, an overwhelming majority in Congress recently approved Bush's request for an additional $82 billion in war funding, and there's already talk of another $50 billion appropriation this fall.It's time to hold all pro-war politicians accountable for the deaths, the destruction, the lies, and the toll on our communities! Join United for Peace and Justice in Washington, D.C. for three massive days of action against the war: a major march, rally, and festival on Saturday, September 24; an interfaith religious service and day of grassroots trainings on Sunday, September 25; and a large-scale grassroots lobbying day and mass nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience on Monday, September 26.

I can't wait. I arrive around 9pm today and will be staying with Maryscott O'Connor, the goddess from MyLeftWing. I hope we can all hook up with Barbara O'Brien from Mahablog and Roxanne Cooper from Rox Populi.

Let us all know if your going.
