> It’s important to note that this protest, against war criminal Harold “Killer” Koh, as he is known in the Beltway for his support of war and drone killings, is not about the election, it’s not even about the College of Law bringing him here, in spite of knowing, well, the crimes he is responsible for committing. 
> 
> It’s about reviving the anti-war movement. We are looking at permanent war in the middle east, with provocations on the border of Russia, and in the S. China Sea. 
> 
> We have our military bases located in every African nation but two. 
> 
> Control by corporate elites, the Pentagon, and the imperialists occupying the State Dept., may differ on strategy, but they are in agreement on the goal to control other nations, and those nations resources. As a result they are taking even greater risks now. 
> 
> We have militarized our police, who are killing people of color everyday with impunity.
> 
> The degradation of the environment continues at an alarming rate.
> 
> Healthcare costs are continuing to escalate, with pensions, salaries and jobs being cut.
> 
> Education is no longer affordable for working class people. 
> 
> All of our money goes to support the war machine, and the 1% elite. 
> 
> It’s time to stand up and say “no more”, if not for “our” sake, then for the sake of all mankind, and the future of our children.
