[Peace-discuss] Iraq Veterans Against the War calls on all veterans, peace organizations, community groups, and unions to mobilize to Madison, Wisconsin on March 19t

[Jenifer Cartwright]

[I've moved this from Peace to Peace-discuss]Yes, all this stuff is connected -- Kucinich makes the point eloquently in the video I sent a few minutes ago -- the corporations, the wars, US military presence everywhere, worker rights in the US, the greed behind all of it... but I wonder whether those marching for worker rights and the survival of the middle class in WI, OH, IN, etc will recognize the connection and welcome coat-tail protests. A potential danger in protesting everything that's wrong, instead of focusing on the issue that bro't a hundred thousand into the streets.  --Jenifer
