I first heard Repub talking points against transferring GuantanamoJTF camp x-ray terror suspects to USA prisons in a May 9, 2009 weekly radio response to one of Pres Obama's weekly radio addresses. c-span.org does archive weekly Pres addresses and opposing party responses.

Westminster Women in Black Peace StandThis is a bi-weekly peace stand that is sponsored by the Westminster Women in Black. This stand has been going on for six (6) long years and the participants are against the war in Iraq and any future wars being started by the current adminostration.
During the protest, we must adhere to specific City of Westminster cods for demonstration.
