The Greater Newburyport (MA) Coalition for Peace and Justice is sponsoring a Peace Vigil and March for the 5th Anniversary of the War.

It is being held on Sunday, March 16 from 12:00-1:30 from Market Square, Newburyport, MA.

We have also continued a Peace Vigil every Sunday afternoon from 12:00-1:00 since the beginning of the Iraq War.

Contact: hoser2@comcast.net

Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. starting at the Broad Street overpass, proceeding up and down Broad Street, Nevada City, and continuing on to a Peace Rally at Pioneer Park.

This is a Call to Action for Nevada County to join hundreds of rallies in cities worldwide to demand an end to the Iraq War. We mark this anniversary by calling for peace, now and in our future, for the good of all rather than the profit of a few. Nevada County still says No to War! We invite all people who would prefer to live in peace to join us. We will be standing together in community to raise our voices and make our wishes obvious. We will end up in Pioneer "Peace" Park for music, food, and socializing. Everyone is encouraged to bring chairs and blankets to Pioneer Park before the event.

Mark your calendar and save the afternoon! A coalition of anti-war activists plans to peacefully assemble on March 16, 2008 from 2 PM to 4 PM near Senator Arlen Specter's home on West Schoolhouse Lane (between Henry Avenue and Gypsy Lane) in East Falls, Philadelphia PA 19129.

On the fifth anniversary of the U.S. occupation of Iraq, 24 peace groups (including Northwest Greens) will demonstrate. They want Specter to author a bill that will cut off funding, except what is needed to withdraw our troops safely.

The endorsing organizations are:

Join Cindy Sheehan, Sean Penn, Matt Gonzalez, Reverend Gregory Stewart, Justin Raimindo of antiwar.com and other speakers for a peace vigil to mark the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War.  The speaking program will be followed by a march to the San Francisco War Memorial Veterans Building on Van Ness Avenue.

Impeach or Else Rally

It is now undeniable that the Federal Government has failed us completely. We have asked our representatives to hold the Bush Administration accountable. Instead, they have blocked the Impeachment movement all over our country.

As we approach the anniversary of the illegal Iraq invasion, we have not given up on the idea of holding the criminals in the Bush Administration or those who enable them accountable. There is something that you can do. It is now time for Plan B.

Impeach for Peace researched a method for impeaching the President or Vice President using a little known and rarely used part of the Rules of the U.S. House of Representatives ("Jefferson's Manual"). This document actually empowers individual states to initiate the impeachment process. All that's required is that the MN House and Senate pass an impeachment resolution.

Venezuela: Participatory Democracy or Democracy As Usual?

* April 18-20, 2008
* Howard University
* Washington, D.C.

Dear Friends of Venezuela,
Today we are witnessing the emergence of democracy in countries that have existed for too long under regimes controlled by U.S. corporate interests. Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean countries are developing a true path to self-determination and self-sufficiency, along with Simon Bolivar’s dream of unity and self-empowerment.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is in the forefront of this movement, no thanks to the powerful corporate media in the U.S. People in the United States - including activists, academics, policymakers, religious groups and labor unions – lack a depth of understanding about what is taking place in Venezuela and its ramifications for the Western Hemisphere.

“The Imperative of Indictment--The Bush-Cheney Indictment Legal Report"

PORTLAND - Maine's Independent US Senate Candidate Laurie Dobson will address an upcoming forum entitled:

“The Imperative of Indictment--The Bush-Cheney Indictment Legal Report".

The Bush Indictment Resolutions in Brattleboro, Marlboro and Kennebunkport have drawn worldwide response.

The legal justification for this indictment resolution has been prepared by human rights lawyer Harold Burbank, a Kennebunk native, and legal expert on the issue of war crimes. This meeting will provide the legal background and justification for the imperative of indictment and will explore how other towns could take up this measure in Maine and elsewhere.

Scheduled speakers include:
* US Senate Candidate Laurie Dobson
* US Rep Candidate Harold Burbank, Esq.
* Brattleboro Indictment author Kurt Daims

SWAMI BEYONDANANDA'S
WAKE UP LAUGHING Tour

Join the Up-Wising!

We’re living in serious times. And yet ... there’s something funny going on. Which means there is more reason to laugh, and more need for it. The more unfunny occurrences that occur, the more important it is to fortify ourselves with heart-opening, mind-expanding comedy. Wholehearted laughter is the ultimate weapon of “mass-deconstruction” to blow apart the insanity that masks itself as “sanity” in this shrinking world that could use a good shrink.

That’s why we are calling Swami’s upcoming tour -- that will take us to the Big Island of Hawaii, to Charlottesville, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Asheville, North Carolina in April -- the Wake Up Laughing tour. We need to awaken, and what better to wake us up than through the sound of our own laughter?

On the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war

Washington D.C. 13th and L Sts. NW

On the morning of Wednesday, March 19 at the American Petroleum Institute

- END the War in Iraq -
- SHIFT Funding from War and Big Oil to Clean Energy and Human Needs -
- SEPARATE Oil and State -

U.S democracy is compromised by the influence of Big Oil, which pours millions into political campaigns and lobbying.†† Big Oil millions not only greased the Congressional votes that got us into the Iraq War and continues to support the illegal occupation, it also is obstructing the shift to a clean energy economy.

In solidarity with hundreds of actions world wide, we'll be hitting the streets on the 5th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq to mourn the dead and suffering and demand an end to this occupation

Wednesday, March 19, 2008:

WHO: World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime and many other groups!

WHAT: No Business As Usual! Non-violently SHUT DOWN the Media Centers who have been complicit with the Crimes of the Bush Regime!

WHEN: Wednesday, March 19th 2008 at 2:00 PM

WHERE: Fisher Plaza 140 4th Ave N Seattle WA

As the fascistic program of the Bush Regime is hammered into place, the media has made the opposition invisible. The mainstream media has become another extension of the Bush Program, where the truth is systematically hidden from the people. The media consistently marginalizes the anti-war/anti-Bush movement including the fight of those in the city of Berkeley CA, who have not rescinded their resolution against military recruiters. We need to hold them accountable for their complicity in the face of war crimes.

Come wearing ORANGE - the color of resistance! Some will be participating in non-violent civil resistance.

Split This Rock Poetry Festival: Poems of Provocation & Witness

You are invited to our nation’s capital for a festival that celebrates our great tradition of poetry of witness and resistance.

Split This Rock Poetry Festival will feature readings, workshops, panel discussions on poetry and social change, youth programming, films, parties, walking tours, and activism—a unique opportunity to hone our activist skills while we assess and debate the public role of the poet and the poem in this time of crisis.

As citizens and artists, our obligation has never been greater. We call on poets of conscience to move to the center of public life as we forge a visionary new arts movement for peace and justice.

Students will counter-recruit at the recruiter's outpost. Rather than signing up to carry out war crimes with the lying representatives of the army, students will be invited to join the resistance.

WEAR ORANGE IN RESISTANCE!

Evict the War Criminals!
Shut them Down!

Panelists will analyze the impact of the surge on the security situation in Iraq, its effect on Iraq's political process and where the United States should go from here. With the drawdown of the surge forces already underway, panelists will also analyze the effect of the surge on U.S. military readiness and overall U.S. security interests in the Middle East.

This event is part of the Center for American Progress Series, The Impact of Five Years in Iraq

Why is March 20th significant? March 20th is the Anniversary of the day this Iraq war was launched. We hope to see you all there.

When General Petraeus testified before the Senate on 4/8, he made it crystal clear that Bush intends to keep at least 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq through the end of 2009. If you think that's wrong, please join us this week.

More than 4,000 U.S. troops dead in Iraq. Had enough war?
It is time for you to join our peace vigil!

Come on! Join us!
