/*Join us in Washington, DC March 18 to 20 for a series of events focused on 
ending the wars and freeing alleged Wik*//*iLeaks whistle blower, Bradley Manning.**
*/

DearDavid,

March 19 is the anniversary of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Since then the 
war has expanded to Afghanistan and under President Obama, Afghanistan has 
escalated. Now the CIA is leading a ‘secret’ war in Pakistan and causing a major 
diplomatic crisis with a Blackwater agent who worked for the CIA imprisoned 
after allegedly killing two Pakistanis. And, the war in Iraq continues with tens 
of thousands of troops, and tens of thousands of mercenaries still fighting in 
Iraq as protests against the Iraqi government increase.

*The wars will only end by a consistent anti-war campaign that includes constant 
acts of civil resistance. This March 19^th Voters for Peace is endorsing a 
protest led by four veterans groups, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Vets Against the 
War, March Forward! And Vietnam Veterans Against War, that will include mass 
civil resistance at the White House. Join us and participate. We are seeking to 
have more than the 131 vets and their allies who were arrested in December 
building the resistance needed to end the wars

risk arrest. I will be one of them, join me.  For more on this event visit Stop 
These Wars.

On March 20^th , there will be a march and protest in Quantico 
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=6uYI%2ByPxjaUTtBENZMHNxCHvVFCuQcuc>, 
Virginia at the Marine Base where Bradley Manning 
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nd9PpU42bOzMFwNouCPmRSHvVFCuQcuc> 
is being held in solitary confinement. Manning has not been found guilty of any 
crime yet his pre-trial detention has morphed into pre-trial punishment, as he 
has been held for 9 months in solitary.

On March 18^th there will be a pre-event at Bush Boys and Poets (5^th and K 
Streets, NW) that will feature notable speakers , among them Pulitizer Prize 
Winning war correspondent Chris Hedges, CODE PINK’s Medea Benjamin and author of 
War Is a Lie, David Swanson. Music will be provided by Deadwood, featuring 
Margaret Flowers 
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=BmLIcrajN4e%2Bn8IPjqHDMiHvVFCuQcuc>, 
and by Watermelon Slim 
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=acA4WOeFktMschFdqq4qLSHvVFCuQcuc>. 

These wars are killing people every day, destroying families, forcing people 
from their homes and undermining U.S. national security and the economy. 
  President Obama is once again putting forward a larger weapons and war budget, 
this one the largest since World War II, despite the faltering economy.

Please join us in Washington, DC-area for these important events.

Kevin Zeese
Executive Director
