I encourage Green-Rainbow Party members and everyone else who stands 
for justice and against war to attend the large regional anti-war 
protest on Boston Common this Saturday.  This protest has been 
organized by a large coalition of Boston area social justice and 
anti-war groups, and it is endorsed by Mystic River Green-Rainbow 
Action (which is the Green-Rainbow Party local group in Cambridge and 
Somerville), by the Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts, and by the 
Peace Action Committee of the Green Party of the United States.  -

Two and a half years after the invasion of Iraq the brutal nightmare 
continues with no end in sight. The majority in this country believe 
that this war should never have happened. Over 200,000 marched in 
Washington, DC on September 24 demanding an end to this criminal war 
of conquest. Millions more now reject the lies coming out of 
Washington. We are making a difference! Now WE have the initiative.

A catastrophe of massive proportions has been unfolding on the Gulf 
Coast. At least a thousand are believed to have died and many 
thousands are now homeless. Natural disasters can't be stopped. But 
what happens before, during, and after them is not inevitable. The 
deaths in Katrina's path
were no more necessary than the deaths of thousands in Iraq.

We must unite! The policy of waging war for control of oil resources 
and the policy decisions leading to the social catastrophe unfolding 
on the Gulf Coast point to a consistent assault on and disregard for 
the lives, safety, and needs of working families.

Plans are being made to organize a massive March and Rally on Boston 
Common on October 29th, 2005 to End the Occupation of Iraq! We 
encourage all antiwar organizations, students, youth, groups in the 
community, unionists, and anyone in the New England region who wants 
to organize to Sop the War to join with us at our next planning 
meeting.

Join us in planning this action and in organizing a broad outreach 
campaign. The challenge before us is to unite, plan, and then 
mobilize our opposition into a strong mass movement that can turn 
millions more against the war =
and fight for a social policy that serves human needs- not conquest, 
occupation, and domination.

According to Donald Rumsfeld the war could last as long as 12 more years.

How many more will die in a war that was a lie from start to finish?

How many more billions of our tax dollars will be drained into a war 
to control the oil resources of Iraq?

How many more billions will be looted from vital social needs such as 
hurricane relief, reconstruction, jobs, education, and healthcare or 
libraries, firehouses, childcare, eldercare, or Social Security?
