Countdown to a Showdown

More than 100 cities mobilizing for Sept. 15 March on Washington

and An Important Appeal from an Iraq War Veteran (don't forget --- he's one of those troops you MUST support when you ask us to support the troops)

We are in a countdown to a showdown and Bush is scrambling to beat back the anti-war opposition that is dominating the country.
He and the neocons are betting that their propaganda blitz preceding the September 15 showdown will force the Democrats to capitulate once again.

William Kristol and other neocon fascist cheerleaders for Bush are so scared of the anti-war movement that they have launched a campaign attacking Iraq war veterans for planning a mass Die-In on September 15. Kristol, like other coddled rich boys in the Bush administration, never served a day in his life. He dares to incite attacks against Iraq war veterans who are courageous enough to tell the truth and who are coming out to lead the September 15 March on Washington.

Bush's disgusting photo-op trip to Iraq is just one more optical illusion. The "surprise" visit yesterday to the heavily-guarded Al Asad air base, with 10,000 U.S. troops, is the latest in the new propaganda blitz to convince Congress and the country to fork over $3 billion each week to fund Bush's fantasy that Iraq can be occupied and subdued.

Bush must also convince the people of the United States that they should keep sending their sons and daughters to their deaths.

Bush arrived at Anbar province in secrecy just days after a plane carrying a U.S. congressional delegation was nearly blown from the skies by resistance fire after it took off. He arrived after another month that took the lives of nearly 2,000 Iraqis, landing on the same day that the British left the city of Basra implicitly acknowledging their defeat in southern Iraq. All the photo-ops in the world cannot conceal the truth.

Join with the tens of thousands of people who will stand with the Iraq War Veterans and March on Washington on September 15.

This is a critical demonstration for all those who oppose the war and people can participate in different ways. There will be a fully permitted march and rally (for those who will not be risking arrest) in addition to the Die-In led by Iraq War Veterans.

A PLEA FROM ADAM KOKESH "PROTESTING IS NOT ENOUGH!"JOIN VFP IN WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 15!

Dear Veterans For Peace,
As many of you are aware, the next big mobilization of anti-war protestors is going to be in Washington, DC on September 15th. However, you may not be aware of the significance of this particular demonstration. Tina Richards of Grassroots America and I have been working extensively with the ANSWER Coalition to make sure that this is not just another protest. We have made the theme, "Protesting is not enough. Come for the rally, stay for a week of direct action."
To kick off the week of action, after the rally we will march from the White House to the Capitol, and go straight into a mass civil-disobedience die-in around the Peace Monument. The die-in will be led by an Honor Guard of Iraq Veterans Against the War who will simulate a 21-Gun Salute before taps is played to initiate the die-in.

We are asking as many members of VFP as possible to sign up to wear cammies and die-in around us to symbolize the American cost of this war. We will be encircled by bolts of red cloth to symbolize the Iraqi deaths and invite anyone else from the rally to participate in the die-in.

Sunday will be a day of teach-ins including a Truth In Recruiting Workshop led by IVAW. That evening, IVAW DC will be holding a benefit concert.

Monday is National Truth In Recruiting Day, and there will be numerous activities planned and we will need your help with an action at the main recruiting office in DC.

Tuesday is Congressional Challenge Day led by Tina Richards.

Wednesday or Thursday will be Veterans Lobbying Day, and Friday is the Moratorium.

Also, the 14th, the Friday before the rally, is the IVAW CD Release Party. All of these events are on the calendar at Sept15.org.
ANSWER has offered to provide free transportation to all IVAW members on the ANSWER busses, and has agreed to extend this offer to all members of VFP in need.

On the ANSWER website is a contact list for busses and if there is one that you can get to, please email Betsy Reznicek at the VFP National Office at breznicek@veteransforpeace.net to get on the list.
As a member of IVAW, it's an honor to have the support of VFP when we attempt something as momentous and significant as this. Personally, I am hoping that September 15th can be a turning point for the entire movement away from protesting and towards direct action. It's important that veterans are properly represented and leading the charge at this crucial time.
Thank you,
Adam Kokesh
