No one will stop this war but the people.
The U.S. Congress failed to listen to the overwhelming number of people who expressed their opposition to a war on Iraq in a massive outpouring of calls, e-mails and faxes to their elected officials.
We believe that it is unconscionable to send young people in the U.S. armed forces into combat in an illegal war that serves only the interests of Big Oil.
Instead of spending $200 billion of taxpayers' money on another war in the Middle East, the funds should be used to create jobs and finance education, housing, heathcare and other vital human needs.
We join with the millions who want to take action to prevent a senseless war that is likely to lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people in Iraq. This path of the Bush Administration can only lead to an escalation of violence that endangers people everywhere.
The Congress votes for war. We hold peace protest against war.

Anti-war activists march to protest the Bush administrations stance on Iraq Sunday, Oct. 6, 2002 in Los Angeles, Calif. The popular movement against war with Iraq appears to be growing, with many Americans saying precipitous action concerns them. But the pockets of public protest havent gathered enough momentum yet to move the national debate.
