ENCAMPMENT TO STOP THE WAR
In Washington DC Beginning March 12


In the past few days, we have been contacted by thousands of people from all over the country promising to come to Washington and STAY to stop the war. Here is what some have said:

I would like to be involved in a direct manner, I have nothing in my life I believe to be more important than taking back control of our country from the hands corruption and corperations, and returning it to its rightful owners, let me know what I can do from here!
I support you guys 110% on what you guys are doing!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Cesar Paz, Las Cruces, NM
Up to now, antiwar demonstrations have produced no results. By having demonstrators stay at the site of Congress until it cuts off funding just might work.
I'll volunteer as much time as possible at the local level and I hope to be able to come to Washington on March
-Paul McDowell, Santa Barbara City College, CA
I will be there to stay with my tent and my friend too
- Tamara St Clair, Ann Arbor MI
I'm going and will stay
- Tighe Barry, Santa Monica,  CA
Looking forward to setting up my tent on the lawn
- Joe Dwyer Clearspring MD

Let us emulate the example of our colleagues in Oaxaca,
- Cecil Pineda, Oakland, CA
DON'T drop this ball, no matter the opinions of the big peace groups. They haven't been willing to put out this kind of call and I firmly believe it is the only thing that will work. We can do this if we unite.
- Beverly Wiskow, Peace Now Citrus County, Inverness FL
Let's shut down Washington!Our votes don't matter,so it's time for mass civil disobedience.It's the only way we can stop this war.
