Can you feel the stirring?

Over the last few days people have started calling with that question for me again. What can I do to stop the war?

The good news is the movement that at one time was the largest prewar antiwar movement is now awakening and on the ramp up. Just as our Government called for a ramp up in Iraq, the peace movement began an even more powerful ramp up. And folks can feel the stir.

Recently even the corporate media have to admit that there are now more opposed to this war than ever before.

Now today comes the word that UFPJ and ANSWER will unite and share a rally and march. This has the potential to be the largest antiwar rally in History. We have the power and the time to make it happen. And the Greens are ramping it up.

Across the country Green activists are planning for rallies in their local area, for buses to go to DC, to coordinate events in DC, and to keep the movement growing beyond that.

Below I have information about Buses from the Hudson Valley in New York and buses from Florida. Following that is a survey that you can fill out and send back to the GPUS Peace Action Committee to help us create a one stop shop for Sept 24th actions. Where you will soon be able to find out various info about local and national events for the 24th and where to find a bus.

From Hudson Valley Activist Newsletter, Aug. 19, 2005:

GOOD NEWS FOR THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT:
THE TWO PEACE COALITIONS WILL UNITE
FOR ONE BIG RALLY AND MARCH IN
WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 24!

The two leading American antiwar coalitions < href="http://webmail.bellsouth.net/agent/MobNewMsg?to=jacdon@earthlink.net">jacdon@earthlink.net or call (845) 255-5779 and
tell us you want a reservation. Supply your name, town, boarding location
(Kingston, New Paltz or Poughkeepsie), email address, telephone number and
the names of those in your party if you are reserving for others as well.

Then make out your check to ³Newsletter² and mail it to HV Activist
Newsletter, PO Box 662, New Paltz, NY 12561. We will get back to you with
full information, including pickup times, locations, details about the event
and instructions about what to bring, food, etc.

As usual we want to reduce prices for people of low income and students. Our
ability to do this depends on the generosity of our activist readers. We
truly value your contributions because they make it possible for a number of
people to join the protest who otherwise would have to remain home. Make
out your check and mail it as above, but write ³contribution² on the memo
line so we will earmark it for that purpose.
