Recent polls show that Americans are, more than ever, fed up with the War in Iraq . In a poll taken by NBC News/Wall St. Journal on June 11th, 68% of respondents disapproved of Bush’s handling of the war. In a CNN poll taken on May 4th, 65% of respondents said they “Opposed the US war in Iraq .” And yet it continues…



After years of complacency, Congressional Democrats are finally beginning to stand up to Bush and talk about ending the war. Great… but TALK is cheap! We demand they ACT to end the war and bring the troops home now. Additionally, the budget for this war should be cut and the money spent on veterans benefits, aid to Iraqis to help rebuild their country, universal healthcare, better education and other pressing needs inside the US.

 

More than 40 members of Rochester's anti-war community came together on June 11th for the first planning meeting for this event.

 

"We are the anti-war majority. We've listened to them, now they need to listen to us!",  said rally organizer Jeff DeToro.
