I Knew 8th Grade Home Ec Would Come in Handy Someday
In Saif Rahman's article, Five Reasons Why I'll March on Jan. 27 (and You Should Too), Iraq war veteran, Geoff Millard, reminds us of the empowerment that is our right as citizens of this country:
"When members of Congress say that cutting funds for this war and immediate withdrawal is 'off the table' - they are dead wrong. They don't set the table. We set the damn plates down. We set the damn forks down. And we tell them what is for f'ing dinner. And if thousands of people come to their door, sit down at the table, and tell them that--they will listen."

If you live in the Denver area, join your community at the capitol at noon. Our rally info will appear on the UFPJ site in a couple of days. Until then, be the first to read the scoop here:
In conjunction with rallies around the country, including a massive national peace march in Washington D. C., a "PEACE IN IRAQ" rally will be held on Saturday, January 27, at 12:00, noon, on the west steps of the Capitol in Denver.
This event is co-sponsored by Ken Gordon, the majority leader in the Colorado Senate; the Public Policy Commission of The Interfaith Alliance of Colorado, which supports "a Colorado based on the values and principles of mutual respect, religious diversity, inclusiveness, compassion, and justice"; and the Peace, Liberty, and Justice Task Force at the Jefferson Unitarian Church in Golden.
There will be opportunities to sign petitions regarding ending the war in Iraq.
More details coming soon.
