Events Planned for March 10-19, 2008, to Resist the U.S. Occupation of Iraq, Oppose New Wars, Demand Impeachment Submitted by davidswanson on Thu, 12/20/2007 - 18:47. We are asking congress members and senators to simply do this. MARCH 6, 2008 in Washington, D.C.

Subcommittee hearing on flushing another $100 billion down the Iraq occupation. MARCH 7-9, 2008 in Washington, D.C.: NCOR

National Conference on Organized Resistance MARCH 10 to 12, 2008 (Monday to Wednesday) in Washington, D.C.: Stop-Loss Congress

This March, while tens of thousands of Americans in Washington, D.C., and all over the United States will be participating in acts of nonviolent civil resistance to protest the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, and involuntarily deployed U.S. soldiers and innocent civilian victims will begin another year of occupation, torture, and murder, U.S. congress members will be on vacation (from the 15th to 30th, technically a "district work period"), ignoring the killing and suffering they have enabled, supported, and financed. To intensify the irony, Congress has condoned a widespread stop-loss policy in the military which requires soldiers to involuntarily extend their tours and prolong the killing. It is time to Stop-Loss Congress! On Monday March 10, and Tuesday March 11, we will deliver "official" stop-loss notices to all members of Congress in their Capitol Hill offices. These will notify them that all of their LEAVES, VACATIONS and HOME VISITS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED until further notice. Just as they require that active-duty personnel endure involuntary extensions of their tours of duty, we, the people for whom they work, are notifying them that they, too, will have their tours of duty INVOLUNTARILY EXTENDED until every foreign soldier and mercenary is out of Iraq, and home. When all the troops and contractors get home, then Congress can go home, and no sooner. This is a typical condition due to the fact that children are so commonly pushing their backs that they create against the back of their head with best baby flat head pillow. Another idea to aid stop flat head syndrome is to make use of a support pillow when baby is seated in a service provider, baby bouncer, swing, etc. Considering that baby is relaxing her head against a soft pillow instead of a tough seat back, there is less pressure being put on the rear of her head. This is also because of exactly how soft baby's skull is so pressure on any kind of area can alter the shape of baby's head.

On the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war, TAKE ACTION at the American Petroleum Institute in Washington D.C. at 13th and L Sts. NW, On the morning of Wednesday, March 19 - END the War in Iraq -

- SHIFT Funding from War and Big Oil to Clean Energy and Human Needs -

- SEPARATE Oil and State - Veterans for Peace Events in DC on 19th: Arresting Bush and Cheney. Something else that anyone anywhere can do on the 19th: Something you can do while you're home: IRAQ FAX-IN

March 19 marks the 5th Anniversary of Bush's disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq - yet there is no end in sight. The costs so far are staggering: 4,000 young Americans killed, tens of thousands maimed... 1 million Iraqis killed, millions maimed... $562 billion in tax dollars stolen from our children... $3 trillion cost to our economy through veterans care, weapons replacement, higher oil prices, and the collapsing dollar. All that in just 5 years! We elected a Democratic Congress in 2006 to bring our troops home, but they keep giving Bush blank checks. Incredibly, Congress will soon vote on another $102 billion blank check. On this 5th Anniversary, it is time for everyone who hates this occupation to do something about it. And we're making it as simple and effective as we can. We're calling it a Fax-In. It's like a sit-in, only you can do it from home. Fax an image to Congress that visually expresses how you feel about the endless occupation of Iraq. International Actions on 19th:
