Marking the 4th anniversary of the Iraq war:
WAND members, chapters, friends

From Molly Ivins' final column

We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war.

Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, "Stop it, now!"

Northern Indiana WAND
On March 19th, thousands of us will gather together for candlelight vigils. We cannot send tens of thousands under-equipped and unprepared soldiers into the middle of an un-winnable civil war. Join us at a candlelight vigil. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.
