Camp Pelosi Meets Occupation Project with Local Political and Community Leaders: DE-FUND THE WAR AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW



WHAT: Press Conference

WHEN: Wednesday, March 21, 2007

WHERE: Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco

TIME: 12:00pm

2008 is too late; we say NOW. $120+ billion more is not chicken feed. And thousands of lives will not be forgotten. The voters sent a mandate in the November election. Congress is now responsible to end the war and if they pay for it, they own it. It is no longer only Bush’s war. The people have spoken.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed the resolution to De-Fund the War and Bring the Troops Home Now. They have heard the voice of the people. Supervisors Daly, Ammiano and Mirkarimi will be at the Federal Building with community representatives including Janet Weil, CODEPINK; Bill Simpich, Declaration of Peace; Susan King, spokesperson for the California Green Party; Robert Haaland, DCCC; John Avalos, the San Francisco Peoples Organization; Krissy Keefer, former congressional candidate; Commissioner Jazzie Collins, and others. Supervisor Daly reminds us “over $1.37 billion of San Francisco’s hard-earned tax dollars have been spent on this war.” Join us on the day before the House of Representatives, the people’s house, votes on the supplemental appropriations bill and say “No More Funding, No More War, Bring Our Troops Home Now.”

To be followed by Occupation Project, teach-in at the office of Speaker Pelosi.
