 troops and over 650,000 Iraqis who have died during the Iraq War and 
 Occupation, participants will lie down blocking the Federal Building doors 
 and cover themselves with white sheets in lieu of shrouds with the message: 
  “No business as usual while the killing and dying continue in 
 Iraq.”\nPLEASE JOIN US!  The public is invited to join the die-in or bear 
 witness and support those willing to commit civil disobedience.  People 
 will not risk arrest by joining in the Peace Vigil or supporting those 
 willing to support civil disobedience.     Contact:  Grace Shimizu\n\nDear 
 folks:\n\nAt Bush's State of the Union address, we were again reminded that 
 Bush's new strategy in Iraq is the same old strategy...."all Bush is saying 
 is give WAR a chance"....\n\nWell, Watada supporters in the SF Bay Area and 
 other parts of the country responded by saying:  "Bush LIed/Out of Iraq 
 Now", "Support Lt. Watada/Refuse Illegal War" ,"Occupation is a Crime! Lt. 
 Watada Should Do No Time!" , "Thank you Lt. Watada/ We Stand with 
 you"\n\nIn the SF Bay Area, we had a very successful weekend of events with 
 Carolyn Ho.....an inspiring boost to our visibility campaign as we build-up 
 to Ehren's court martial hearing on Feb 5. Thank you, Carolyn!!   We 
 reached many hundreds, many thousands (million??) of people through the 
 extensive media coverage, rallies, film screenings, church services and 
 community gatherings.  How exhilarating to see diverse individuals come 
 together because we have common interests and hopes for the future of our 
 families and communities.  And how encouraging to see the quick 
 identification with and embracing of Ehren and what he stands for.  \n\nAs 
 you know, these next two weeks are critical to get the news out about Ehren 
 and the issues he is raising.  It's become clear that his court-martial 
 will be a kangaroo court and these next two weeks may be his last days of 
 freedom.  NOW is the time for all of us to do whatever we can to bring Lt. 
 Ehren Watada and his court-martial to public and media attention.\n\nIn the 
 SF Bay Area we have a great line-up of activities to keep Ehren's case in 
 the public eye and to expand our base of support.  We ask that you 
 participate in one or more of these activities and bring your friends, 
 family and co-workers.  We welcome supporters from other cities to join us 
 and to organize activities in your area.   \n\nAttached is our latest 
 calendar of Watada support activities in the SF-Bay Area  (Feb 1-7).\nWe 
 encourage you get out to support the Feb. 1 Peace Vigil and "Die-In" , the 
 Feb. 4 Support Rally, the Feb. 5 Support event, and the vigils on Feb. 5-7. 
  \nPlease bring your buttons, banners, signs.  Let's get VISIBLE.\n\nThank 
 you for your kind consideration and ongoing support.\nPlease take care.
