The Northern Kentucky Justice and Peace Committee advertised the Iraq Moratorium Oct 17th weekend at N.KY's local Oktoberfest on Sept. 12-13.. With just 3 dedicated peacemakers we gave leaflets to foot traffic and saw about 5000 cars in 4 hours. Our message: "Healthcare not Warfare", "Call Congress", and "Bring our Children Home" received honks, waves and a shout out, "You're doing this for all of us.!" National priorities.org lists the cost of the war in KY tax dollars (7 bil), enough to give 2 million Kentuckians healthcare for a year! National contact numbers were listed for citizens to voice their opinions on the wars, bringing the troops home, healthcare and the economy to their Representative and Senators in congress where it can do the most good.
I hereby make a commitment that,
on the Third Friday and/or the Third Weekend of every month, I will break my daily routine and take some action, by myself or with others, to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
