Rally to Demand and end to U.S. occupation of Iraq

Tuesday, January 23, 2007
4:00 to 5:00 P.M.
Sanborn and Pine Grove
Port Huron, Michigan
We have a specific objective for the rally; we will be asking passersby to call their congressional representatives and demand an end to the occupation of Iraq. In our visualization, we will include a large banner on which we have painted the phone number for Congress.

This is a peaceful event. All attendees must agree to interact positively
with passersby. No one is allowed to impede traffic in any way.

Do you guys realize that your protesting in a small town and getting little to no media attention? Why not go protest where someone will hear you. Because making people honk if thy don't want war, is doing nothing.

Pine Grove park? Come on.

Maybe you are right; getting people to honk in and of itself accomplishes little, though it is a great deal of fun.

Our aim is a little more ambitious. By working to keep our dissent vocal and local, we offer others a reminder to reexamine their place in this tragic mess. Ordinary individuals all over the United States have to make a decision: Go along to get along, or stand up and say No More.

And, yes, this is a small town, and it is filled with potential voters who can choose to wake up and demand change, if not on a street corner, then maybe next November in the voting booth.

One more thing, we will be at Sanborn Park, not Pine Grove. Come and join us.
