WHY
WE VIGIL:
"Will these vigils end the U.S. occupation of Iraq?" Not by themselves. "Then why bother?" Because you will separate yourself from the Bush-administration war criminals, because you will demonstrate that everyone does not agree with Congressional Republicans and Democrats who are stalling the peace process, and because you will raise the consciousness of observers. And it will only take one hour of your time. -- Chris Robinson _______________________________________________________________________ ONGOING EVENTS (Daily/Weekly): Contact members of Congress
