DESCRIPTION:BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW! \nSUPPORT MILITARY RESISTERS!\n\nSPEAKERS:\n• 
 TRAVIS MURPHY\nIraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) Bay Area Chapter, 
 served in Iraq with the Army, 37th Calvary Infantry Division\n\n• 
 ELIZABETH TERZAKIS\nInternational Socialist Organization\n\nAs support for 
 the war is falling to all time lows and anti-war activists are gearing up 
 for the March 17 and 18th protests, a growing number of soldiers are 
 speaking out, refusing to serve in Iraq and refusing to redeploy for 
 second, third and fourth tours. The first officer, Lieutenant Ehren Watada, 
 has refused to go on his tour to Iraq because he believes the war is 
 illegal. A year ago a Zogby poll found that 72 percent of troops surveyed 
 thought the U.S. should withdrawal within the year. In January, over 1,200 
 soldiers signed on to an Appeal for Redress, which allowed active duty 
 soldiers an opportunity to express their support for rapid withdrawal. But 
 instead of withdrawing troops, President Bush has gone forward with a 
 'surge' plan that two-thirds of people oppose including active duty 
 soldiers. This escalation is already causing the deaths of more and more 
 Iraqis and U.S. soldiers. The question on many people's minds is 'how do we 
 end the war'? During the American war on Vietnam, the soldiers resistance 
 and their heroic refusals to fight and carry out missions played a major 
 role in ending the war. Come to this meeting to discuss how we can support 
 these courageous soldiers and build a movement to bring the troops home 
 now!\n\nSponsored by: Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) Bay Area Chapter
