DESCRIPTION:Direct Action to Stop the War plans creative protests on Tuesday, February 
 5, the day of the California primary, to demand the Democratic presidential 
 candidates take stronger anti-war positions.\n\nActivists, who plan much 
 larger protests on March 19, the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, 
 will use humor and strong visuals to call into question the supposed 
 anti-war credentials of both Hillary Clinton and Barack 
 Obama.\n\n“Hillary Clinton still refuses to acknowledge that her vote to 
 authorize war with Iraq in 2002 was wrong,” said Kate Raphael.  “She 
 has said that the troop surge is working, and gave it a standing ovation 
 during the State of the Union Address.  She voted for a resolution 
 threatening military action against Iran.”\n\n“Barack Obama wants to 
 end the war in Iraq only to escalate it in Afghanistan and attack 
 Pakistan,” said Vern Nuanez.  “He recently wrote a letter justifying 
 Israel’s refusal to allow fuel, food and medicine into Gaza, where people 
 are literally starving and freezing to death.”\n\nActivists plan protests 
 on both sides of the Bay on primary day, gathering at U.N. Plaza in San 
 Francisco and Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland.  With the theme “Will the 
 Real Peace Candidate Please Stand Up?,” activists hope to send a strong 
 message to the candidates that they should not take for granted support 
 from the antiwar camp.\n\nThe women’s peace group Code Pink, which plans 
 actions throughout the day in San Francisco, expects to meet up with the 
 DASW activists at U.N. Plaza for a brief march.\n
