Military Families Urge Censure for Bush as Congress Marks Iraq Anniversary
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/03-17-2004/0002129977&EDATE=

Families of soldiers serving, as well as of those who have been casualties, in the occupation of Iraq came to Capitol Hill today with other volunteers, urging Congress to censure President George W. Bush.

Meanwhile, volunteers carried petitions that filled 18 large boxes, signed so far by 560,340 members of MoveOn.org from every congressional district, to each office in the House of Representatives, reinforcing the demand for a censure resolution.

The groups also displayed print and TV ads that will
begin running this week. "My son, Army Lt. Seth Dvorin, who died last month while serving in Iraq, met his responsibility to the nation he loved," said Sue Niederer of Pennington, NJ. "As his mother, I am joining hundreds of thousands of Americans today in asking that the Congress of the United States meet its responsibility, as well."

Tom Andrews, national director of Win Without War, said the combined
activities represent an escalation of efforts that will continue. "The truth matters. By not holding the President accountable, the Congress is saying it doesn't. This is unacceptable," said Andrews, a former congressman and member
of the Armed Services Committee.

2. Obviously these people got some ketchup money to do this!
That's what the right is saying about the 9/11 families and the firemen who did not like the ads showing the WTC and the body being carried out.

I'll bet anyone that this protest will be labeled a Kerry campaign stunt paid for by his wife's money.
