| Agitators to hold anti-war rally at Ft Bragg |
| 2005-03-20 |
| Military families and veterans are helping organize a major anti-war rally outside Fort Bragg in North Carolina that could draw several thousand people Saturday, the second anniversary of the Iraq war. Groups such as Iraq Veterans Against The War and Gold Star Families for Peace, whose members have lost relatives in Iraq, will play a prominent role... Groups like Gold Star Families For Peace, made up of 60 families, and Iraq Veterans Against the War, with nearly 200 members, were formed within the past nine months. The members were brought together by grief and opposition to the Iraq conflict. More than 1,500 U.S. servicemembers have died in Iraq... "We're showing folks all over the country and the world that even in the military community, there's huge opposition to the continuation of the Iraq war," Pearson says. A similar rally in Fayetteville on the first anniversary fell short of the 2,000 people predicted, city spokesman Jason Brady says... About 500 people from more than 270 anti-war groups met in St. Louis the weekend of Feb. 19 to plan educational campaigns and counterrecruitment seminars, says Bill Dobbs of United for Peace and Justice... Well, let's see. With one anti-war group for every two members, and multiple memberships, they can now brag that they have over 2,000 anti-war groups nationwide! With over 2,000 members! It's HUUUUGE! |

| #8 These anti-war idiots still don't get it: The "war" has been OVER for a while now, almost two years ago to be exact. |

| #6 ...didn't publish the number of how many low-life, hippie, pot-smoking, marxists, fairies showed up. Cyber Sarge, for the record, some of us Bay Area pot smokers are loyal Americans who just like a little weed once in a while. Please don't link us to the whackos, who probably just drink fair trade coffee and consider enjoying life boujois. |

| #5 They had "Huge" Anti-War Rally in San Francisco on Saturday but they didn't publish the number of how many low-life, hippie, pot-smoking, marxists, fairies showed up. I heard 'unofficial estimates' were less than 2,000. One protestor said they stood for the "silent (and absent) anti-war faction majority that is 'growing' in the U.S." Must be like the Democratic 'majority' that sits in Congress. Was this one of those female Harvard types that can't do math? Just a guess. |

| #1 I would suggest that Ft Bragg is a rather poor choice of venues, but hey, that's just me. Let the "united" get together and march. It is America, in spite of what the money behind this thinks. |
