TAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE on March 15
Emergency National Anti-War Convergence

Plus: March 5 National Moratorium to Stop the War

Tens of thousands of people will be converging for a 
National Anti-War March to TAKE IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE on  Saturday MARCH 15. There will be parallel activities in 
Los Angeles and San Francisco. 

Buses, vans and car caravans are traveling from over 100  cities in more than 35 states to join the March 15 
demonstrations. The listing of transportation being 
organized from cities around the country is updated daily.  For the current contacts -- or to sign up to list the 
transportation options from your city -- go to:

It has been the street protests in the United States and  around the world in the last few months that have become  the biggest single political factor confronting and 
restraining the war-makers. We have always believed that  the only thing that could prevent this aggression against  Iraq was for all of us -- the people of the world -- to 
organize and become a major political force through mass  action.

Reminiscent of an important phenomena during Vietnam,  heated public opinion is beginning to create fissures even  inside of the U.S. government as officials begin to 
distance themselves from U.S. government policy. During  the 1960s this led to the publication of the Pentagon 
Papers and the release of other information that revealed  that the government had been lying to the people. In this  regard, we note the recent resignation of John Brady 
Kiesling, a career diplomat with twenty years of service  in the State Department. In his resignation letter, 
Kiesling wrote "I am resigning because I have tried and 
failed to reconcile my conscience with my ability to 
represent the current U.S. Administration."

With each passing day the Bush Administration encounters  new hurdles that constitute a growing deterrent force to  war. We must use every moment available to continue to  build this global grassroots movement into the most 
serious obstacle facing the war-makers. 

The next two weeks will be critical. The Bush 
administration is doing everything to steamroll world 
public opinion. Bush is assembling a coalition not of the 
willing, but of the bribed and coerced, as they twist arms  and hand out tens of billions in an attempt to manipulate 
member nation states and violate the U.N. Charter.

THE PLAN FOR THE EMERGENCY CONVERGENCE ON THE WHITE HOUSE  is to gather at 12 noon at the Washington Monument (just  south of the White House, Constitution Ave. between 15th  and 17th Sts. NW) for a rally and march.
