Cindy Sheehan Rally Feb 18 at Raum Emanuel's Office to Launch 'The Antiwar Majority' Project

[The idea behind 'sustained' in the name of this project is that these actions will continue and grow throughout the Spring, taking on Hasert in Batavia as well as Emanuel in Chicago, the most powerful Republican and Democrat in Illinois respectively, continuing with direct actions through the primary election period, building for the March 18 mobilization, and onward, demanding an answer to who will represent the antiwar majority and fight for its goal of stopping the war. --CarlD]

CINDY SHEEHAN RALLY
Saturday, February 18, 10 a.m.

at Independence Park and
Congressman Rahm Emanuel's Office

3742 Irving Park Rd. (Irving Park & Hamlin)

Come stand with the Anti-War Majority in Chicago, Cindy Sheehan, Kathy Kelly, Juan Torres & others in calling for Congressman Emanuel to initiate or support legislation to end the Iraq War in Iraq.

Join us for a Rally & Speeches in Independence Park followed by a procession to Rep. Emanuel's office (1 block walk), with boots representing Illinois soldiers killed, memorial photographs of Iraqis, coffins, songs, chants and more.

Help us raise a powerful call to Rep. Emanuel to stop this war and bring our troops home!

This Rally is the public kick-off to Anti-War Majority: a Sustained Campaign to Stop the War.

The campaign, founded by over a dozen Chicago area peace, community and labor organizations, asserts

'We who oppose this war - are the MAJORITY in the United States. In keeping with the expressed will of the majority of Americans, we call upon our elected officials, NOW, to support legislation to Stop This War.'

AWM has launched a petition drive, calling for the removal of all US troops from Iraq by the end of 2006. These petitions will be delivered by the thousands to elected representatives during Spring and Summer of 2006. The campaign is committed to emphasizing the tragic cost of this war, both in the heart-breaking loss of human lives and in the indefensible squandering of billions of US dollars desperately needed here at home.
