some think the young people aren't involved in Protesting the Occupations.

here is another teenager who says why she is coming out on March 20th to protest the occupations.

What are teenagers doing in your city on the 7th Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq?

There might be a protest in your town. Google it, you might be surprised what you find.

4. Thank you for the info.

My roommate and I were seriously considering driving to DC for the protest, however, I'll google to see if there are any protests going on here, first (frankly, money is tight). If not, we'll probably join the (hopefully) hundreds of thousands of others in DC.

5. These wars make us less safe by angering millions of people

around the world. I'm going to the March 20 demo and I'm telling all my friends!!

6. Even John Kline's people are now against the wars

We just got back from attending 2nd District Congressman John Kline's Town Hall in Faribault this evening. There were only about 60 people, not including his staff there and my guess is half were Republicans and half were Democrats. The most amazing thing was that three of the people who seemed very Republican by the nature of their other comments attacked Kline for his support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan-Pakistan. The reason even these Republicans are now against the wars is the cost and spiraling national debt. Kline tried to explain that we're fighting in Afghanistan to protect India. That seemed to be a novel, and rather bizarre new "domino theory". We got his response on video so will hopefully post it in the next couple days.
