Protesters Will Urge Congress to Stand Up to Bush

THE REAL "SURGE" MAY WELL BE A TIDAL WAVE OF OPPOSITION.

Protesters Will Urge Congress to Stand Up to Bush:

"New York, New York - Americans angered by Bush's plans to escalate the Iraq war will flood the streets of Washington on Saturday, January 27, in a massive national peace march organized by United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ). Marchers will call on Congress to listen to the voters, not Bush, by using its power to end Bush's war and bring the troops home. The last three national marches organized by UFPJ each attracted between 300,000 and 500,000 people.

MoveOn.org has called upon its 3.2 million members to join UFPJ, describing the march as potentially a 'turning point for the war' comparable to how 'Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington in 1963 was a turning point in the fight for equality and civil rights.' The National Organization for Women (NOW) is mobilizing its chapters to participate. Local anti-war groups in cities and towns across the nation are mobilizing."
