Aug. 28: National Take a Stand Day vigils

From MoveOn.org

Stand Up In September Vigil

On August 28--National Take a Stand Day--We're holding candlelight vigils and Town Hall meetings in cities all over the nation to remember the human cost of the war and urge our members of Congress to stand up in September and end this endless war.

This September, after hearing the White House‘s report on the "surge," Congress will decide whether we bring our troops home or spend another year fighting an unwinnable religious civil war. As Congress heads back to DC, we're here to tell them that it's time to take a stand.
