The organizers of the Midwest anti-war action on Oct. 27, building on a national United for Peace and Justice call, created controversy by inviting to speak at this event Chicago's Mayor Daley, and Illinois Senators Durbin and Obama, among other Democratic Party politicians. Also, much of the established left that had organized the earlier Chicago area anti-war marches were not invited to the initial planning meetings. Many felt that the organizers by doing so attempted to block the Oct. 27 action from targeting the critical failure of the Democrats in Congress to fulfill their 2006 election promise to stop the war in Iraq.

This 25-minute video interviews participants in this debate while following the scenes in and around the day's activities, including a police attack on the "Imperialist Bloc" feeder march; a separate action of the International Solidarity Movement at an expressway overpass; background scenes of invited speaker Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky, one of the invited speakers, endorsing installing a military academy at Senn High School; speeches and much more. Five Labor Beat videographers provide the footage.
