Say NO to Bush's escalation of Iraq war

On Wednesday evening Bush will don his mental flight suit and play soldier again, he will announce an escalation of the war in Iraq. But the people who will die will be our young countrymen and women who he will send to fight his and the GOP's war. Many innocent Iraqis will also die. We have to stop this madness NOW! (Dan)


America Says NO more troops!

Thursday, Jan. 11th
A Nationwide Surge of Protest
against The U.S. military occupation of Iraq




President Bush is expected to reveal his "new strategy” for Iraq on Wednesday evening. Defying the mandate of Americans who voted in November to end the madness and begin to bring our troops home, he will call for an escalation in the number of U.S. combat troops in Iraq.

Let's deliver an immediate and direct response to the president’s call for escalation: NO!

There will be actions in cities and towns across the country within 24 hours of the president’s speech with a simple message:

"America says NO more troops in Iraq!”







Join CODEPINK NYC in a vigil calling for the closure of the U.S. detention facility in Guantánamo Bay and an end to state-sanctioned torture. No torture! No troop escalation in Iraq!
