IVAW members were in Denver on Wednesday leading a march of ten thousand to
the Democratic National Convention where they delivered a message to the Obama
camp in a meeting with senior campaign officials. IVAW called on the Democratic
nominee to endorse the three main goals of IVAW: Immediate withdrawal, full
veterans benefits, and reparations for the Iraqi people.

Jeff Key, a former Marine from Salt Lake City, and Liam Madden, a former marine
from Boston, were then escorted into the convention where they met with Phil
Carter, head of veterans affairs for the Obama campaign. IVAW is now waiting for a
formal response to their request address the delegates from the podium.
