Iraq War Anniversary Vigil
Americans across the country are more concerned than ever about our direction in Iraq. Now is the time for Congress to force a change.

On March 19th, thousands of us from organizations across the movement will gather together to observe the fourth anniversary of the war through candlelight vigils. We’ll solemnly honor the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 servicemen and women, and we'll contemplate the path ahead of us. We cannot send tens of thousands of exhausted, under-equipped, and unprepared troops into the middle of an Iraqi civil war.

Join us at a candlelight vigil on Monday, March 19th. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.
Click here to organize your own vigil, or sign up for one near you.


The following is a message from the host of MOONLIGHT PEACE/SUPPORT THE
TROOPS CANDLELIGHT VIGIL, the Iraq War Anniversary Vigil that you
signed up to attend:

Dear All,

Today is the day of our vigil. I have sent the last press release out
(I will attempt to cut/paste it into this email) via email and have
several to fax out yet.

Please make last minute calls and send out last minute emails to invite
people to come...they do not need to sign up, just show up on the beach
with a candle in hand and the want/will to make a difference.

REMEMBER:

A candle to hold/light.
Matches, lighter....
DRESS WARM, it will get chilly by 7 tonight
WHATEVER SIGN you want to hold or stick in the sand
Cameras
YOURSELF
A chair if you feel you will need to sit down as this will probably go
from 5-8 or 9...
Something to drink (water/soda) to keep hydrated and munchies so your
stomach doesn't growl and embarrass you!

REACH OUT: to others that may need a ride or are handicapped and may
need assistance once they arrive at the beach.

STILL NEED:
Lighters
Collapsing table

Think we'll have wood, but if there are a few of you out there that can
grab a couple of logs...
See you tonight!
