NYC WRL has initiated planning an action at IRS Headquarters in Washington, DC, on March 19, 2008
As part of the ‘5 Years Too Many’ actions, your help is needed as we blockade the “money” pillar of war as other groups nonviolently “attack” other pillars of war.
Please participate with other WRLers, war tax resisters, and other groups at the IRS.
For more information see the actions page of the WRL website http://www.warresisters.org or email nycwrl@att.net

CALL TO ACTION
March 19, 2008: the 5th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the beginning of the 6th year of war and occupation, the 6th year of senseless death and massive destruction.
2008 is a critical year in the efforts to bring an end to the war and occupation in Iraq. This is the year the anti-war movement must up the ante, pull out all of the stops and build so much pressure that the war will finally be brought to an end.
United for Peace and Justice is calling for and supporting a set of activities on and around the 5th anniversary that will manifest the intensifying opposition to the war and help strengthen our movement. We invite you to work with us to ensure the success of these actions.
March 13-16, Winter Soldier: UFPJ is committed to providing major support to Iraq Veterans Against the War and its Winter Soldier hearings in Washington, DC, on March 13-16. We will help local groups plan events that directly link to and amplify the Winter Soldier hearings, where those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Iraqis and Afghans, will tell the nation the real story of this war.
March 19, Mass Nonviolent Direct Action in Washington, DC: UFPJ has initiated the planning and organizing for what we hope will be the largest day of nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience yet against the war in Iraq. We encourage people to be in Washington, DC, on March 19th to be part of the civil disobedience, or to assist in support work. We are working to have all 50 states represented in this massive action.
March 19, Local Actions Throughout the Country: We encourage those who are not able to make it to Washington on March 19 to organize local actions. These actions may vary in location or character, but they will all be tied to the protest in Washington and all sending a message to the policy makers: It is time to end this war and occupation!
Help us make the 5th anniversary the last anniversary of this
war!
Join our efforts to build the strongest actions in March — actions that will not only mark the anniversary but will also help propel our movement into the critically important work that must be done throughout the year.

Dandi,
Power of the people is held by “We the People…,”, “we” just don’t understand that point. The Elected Officials are supposed to protect the Individual, not the “Mob”.
Evict all these Useless Incumbents in ’08,
a Thrid Party is needed to Investigate.
Liam!!!! So good to hear from you. Congrats on your new writing job.
Will check out your latest and post it here soon.

Hi Lo,
Liam Bailey here. I apologise for my lack of posting lately. Finally got a staff writing job and I’ve been sticking in trying to make a name for myself.
Just a quick note to say I put my first post in ages onto War Pages last night — I hope you still have a spot for my articles somewhere in your heart, and your site.
