I pledge a grievance to the flag of the plighted states of America, and to the republics upon which it stands: one nation playing God, blind & visible, claiming liberty and justice for all.
Getting this war ended and making sure that the soldiers are taken care of by the VA when they return home. Making sure people really understand that the troops, even though they might look fine on the outside, are not in one piece on the inside.

Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of deaths construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah! Now in darkness, world stops turning As the war machine keeps burning No more war pigs of the power Hand of God has sturck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings All right now!

About me:
We are an organization of national guard, reserve, active duty, and veterans who served since 9/11. We want an end to the lies and deception. We ask that this war end immediately and all of the good men and women serving overseas be brought home safe and sound. We just opened an office in downtown Manhattan and we are really excited that the anti-war movement is gaining so much momentum within the ranks.

Big shout out to all the rebels in 133, 258, 369, 1569, 719, 69, 145!
Who I'd like to meet: Not all service memebrs will agree with us and we don't pretend to speak for all service members.
We DO speak for service members who agree with our three principles and they are NOT alone.
IVAW's 3 principles
1. Bring all troops home NOW! 2.Take care of all vets when they return home. 3. Reperations should be paid to the people of Iraq.
We want the public to know that there is an increasing amount of veterans who not only do not agree with this war but are increasing willing to stand up and do something about it.

Celebrate Black History Month - Free Screening of "Lumumba"
Liberation Film Series - Free Movie Screening Lumumba (2000), Raoul Peck, dir.
Celebrate Black History month with a free screening of Raoul Peck's poignant film Lumumba (2000). The movie documents the life and death of the brilliant African politician Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba was the shining star of a generation of post-independence African left-wing leaders interested in charting a course away from Western dependency and imperialism. Peck's Lumumba is a tragic figure whose demise raises questions about the possibilities for the liberation of Africa in the 21st century.

Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
Of course I told lies to get us into Iraq. Any school child knows that. Don’t know why Scott McClellan didn’t. If we didn’t bend a lot of truth, we never would have done what we done over there. This whole McClellan double-cross signifys just why I’m backing John McCain so hard. He sat right here in the White House and told me there would be no investigating into how we thought up Iraq. There will be no need to look backwords with John. He will protect my Presidential legacy.

Check out the Video featuring our song Necessary Casualties which is dedicated to my brother. Spec. Timothy Charles C. Anderson, 3rd Infantry Division.
Washington Transcripts (What is really being said in DC)
We don’t create homeless veterans; they do it to themselves. My Veterans Administration supports veterans who support themselves, not them that whine about what they been put through and not getting enough education benefits. Look at John McCain and myself, we are both Vietnam era and we didn’t need no education benefits. We both picked ourselves up by the boots. We are both shinning beacons of what these homeless vets can be, beacons standing on a high hill of compassionate conservatism.
From the blog that is all about political hacks betraying democracy!
Why are college students not protesting the war in Iraq as they did during Vietnam? My friend began asking that question when making this video of a candlelight vigil held on the eve of the war’s fifth anniversary.
I saw the Winter Soldier testimonials, and realized that it was tragic that young men and women should carry such horrific burdens. I'll do my part to motivate others to get more involved in stopping the war. Bless you all.
