In the lead up to the March 17, 2007 mass March on the Pentagon, Ramsey Clark and Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, will represent ImpeachBush.org at the Emergency Summit to Impeach Bush for War Crimes. The two-day summit will start at 10:00 am this Saturday at the West Park Presbyterian Church located at 105t W. 86th St. and Amsterdam Ave. ImpeachBush.org is one of several organizations co-sponsoring this event.
Ramsey Clark will be a featured speaker in the evening panel that begins at 7:30 pm. Mr. Clark will be joined by Cindy Sheehan, Debra Sweet of the World Can’t Wait, Rev. Lennox Yearwood and others.
Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, renowned civil rights lawyer and co-founder of the Partnership for Civil Justice, will be speaking at the panel that opens the conference at 10:00am this Saturday.
This is a time for dynamic action. The impeachment movement is joining forces with peace groups and a growing number of Iraq war veterans and their families to launch a massive nationwide action plan to end the war and Impeach Bush and Cheney.
ImpeachBush.org is supporting the work of Iraq war veterans, veterans from past wars and the families of soldiers and veterans who are carrying out a national mobilization of these communities for the March 17 Washington D.C. March on the Pentagon.
We encourage ImpeachBush.org members who are veterans or soldiers family members to sign the letter below and circulate it widely to others who might want to sign. This is classic grassroots organizing and mobilizing at its best. Each person can reach another person. It is that simple and it is the way we will succeed. See the letter below and sign up.

"Why we are marching on the Pentagon"
We, active-duty service men and women, and families with loved ones who have served or are serving in Iraq, and veterans of past and present wars, support the March on the Pentagon on March 17, 2007 to say: "Stop the War -- Bring the Troops Home Now." On that day, the Iraq war will become the second longest in U.S. history, after only the Vietnam war. The war is an unmitigated disaster for the people of Iraq and the people of the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have been killed and Iraq society torn apart. More than 3,100 U.S. soldiers have died and "non-mortal casualties" are nearing 55,000. The cost of the war is now over $8 billion per month, $280 million per day, $12 million per hour. All of this death, suffering and loss for a war justified by lies and deception.
Despite overwhelming public opposition, expressed through the November elections and in countless opinion polls, the Bush Administration and the Pentagon have decided to escalate the war. Escalation will only mean a deepening spiral of death, destruction and wasted resources. We call for the troops to come home, not be redeployed for some other military adventure and for the war funding to be used to provide accessible education, job training and comprehensive health care.
A growing number of families with loved ones in Iraq are now questioning the reasons they are there. Every death or life-changing injury devastates a family, friends and the community they come from. Every redeployment means months more of worry. For veterans of previous wars there are disproportionate numbers of suicides, homelessness, and untreated illnesses. Is there any reason to think that the veterans of the current war won't face the same fate? We are outraged that Bush, who talks endlessly about “supporting the troops,” has proposed cutting funds for the Veterans Administration in his new budget
It is for these reasons that active duty service members, their families and veterans can and must play a vital role in ending this unjust war. Join us at the Pentagon on Saturday, March 17!

Re: ~ImpeachBush.org Organizes for March 17 Washington DC Protest ~
Fri, February 16, 2007 - 11:09 AMThis is great. I heard on the radio how the State of Washington and some other states are getting very serious about all of this. I hope things happen fast.
