DESCRIPTION:Thursday, March 19, 2009, is the Sixth Anniversary of the war and 
 occupation of Iraq, and the beginning of the Seventh Year of a war based on 
 lies. Bay Area activists will mark that anniversary with demonstrations and 
 protests against the continuation of the wars and occupations in Iraq and 
 Afghanistan at 28 BART stations throughout the day.\n\nWe are in a severe 
 economic crisis with expenditures on military activities driving up our 
 national deficit, seriously endangering our security, and damaging our 
 economy. The Iraq Moratorium – SF Bay Area will kick-off its newest 
 effort to gather public support for a bill to immediately cut the US 
 military budget by 25%. The current US budget assigns over 50 cents of 
 every dollar for military-related spending. The campaign’s focus:\n\n     
  Cut the Military Budget by 25% - at least!\n    \n      End the wars in 
 Iraq and Afghanistan now!\n    \n      Fund jobs, education and health care 
 – not war!\n\n\nDaniel Ellsberg has endorsed this effort and the Iraq 
 Moratorium will be working to build this campaign throughout the Bay Area 
 with the goal of gaining traction on the national level. He will speak the 
 importance of making the American public aware of the urgency of this 
 effort, and will join the Iraq Moratorium in an act of nonviolent civil 
 disobedience.\n\nMr. Ellsberg is well known for his release of the Pentagon 
 Papers to the New York Times in 1971. The ensuing trial resulted in 
 dismissal of all charges.\n\n
