Join Me, Speak Out

Fellow Americans,

Four years after our illegal invasion of Iraq—an unjustified and wholly immoral act of economic colonialism—hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians have been killed, more than 3,000 American service members have died, and our treasury continues to be bled dry to service a runaway military-industrial complex.

I mourn the dead and wounded, and I will continue to loudly denounce our behavior in the Middle East and in many other regions of the world. I hold myself responsible for the corruption of my government. I hold you responsible too. I hold all of us, responsible.

This weekend, in major cities throughout the United States, vigils and protests are being held to mark the four year anniversary of an invasion and a war that never should have occurred. I implore you to seek one out and attend it. I implore you to take the very small step of standing up, voicing opposition, and taking action. It really is the least that you and I can do.

If you live in San Diego, a march and rally will take place downtown at 4th and Broadway (1PM, Horton Plaza) on Saturday. Information and fliers are available here: http://www.sdcpj.org/

For those living in other areas of the country, visit http://www.unitedforpeace.org/ or http://www.moveon.org to find an event near you.

Respectfully,
