IVAW seizes National Archives Building CLICK HERE FOR MORE TEXT INFO: IVAW members seize National Archives Building on March 19th, 2008 in front of hundreds of surprised museum visitors. Response from visitors including teachers, students, vacationers was highly positive though there were a few horrified faces in the crowd. IVAW read the terms of our Citizens Arrest Warrant and stood their ground for 90 minutes. They were allowed to leave without being arrested in one of the most spectacular CD events I've ever witnessed. Next stop was the Justice Department where the call for Bush and Cheney arrest was repeated, and then the White House where similar demands were made. This action comes on the heels of IVAW's Winter Soldier Investigation: Iraq and Afghanistan, held at the National Labor College in Silver Springs, M.D. on March 13-16, 2008, where these and many other vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan war testified about their experiences. Those testimonies may be heard by visiting their link here: http://www.ivaw.org/wintersoldier/testimony Additional videos of this days spectacular events may be seen by clicking on the owners profile, or this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/GordonSturrock Please support your local IVAW, VeteransForPeace and VVAW chapters.

DNC IVAW march with 9,000 The Iraq Veterans Against the War, IVAW, marched to the Pepsi Center to meet with Democratic nominee Obama about his war policy on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 during the Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado. IVAW members along with 9,000 stood in formation waiting for a response from the Obama campaign. They got through to the campaign staff, and their veterans' liaison came out to set up a meeting to talk about when they can read their letter to the delegates. Protesters were elated by the victory, but after meeting with Obama's veterans' liaison, Philip Carter, the initial promise of a time to address the convention was changed. IVAW believes that a responsible withdrawal of US forces from Iraq should include, number one, the immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from Iraq; two, full and adequate healthcare and benefits to all returning service members and veterans; and three, reparations made to the Iraqi people for the destruction caused by the US war and occupation. http://www.IVAW.org http://www.ivaw.org/chapter/cosprings http://www.bodyofwar.com/ http://CSaction.org Tags: IVAW Iraq war peace Denver Colorado csaction IVAW.org ColoradoVets.org antiwar march protest Democrat |
