DESCRIPTION:GRANDMOTHERS AGAINST THE WAR PROTEST TAX DAY    						    	Bay Area 
 Grandmothers Against the War will protest the continuing and rising costs 
 of the Iraq war paid for by our income taxes on Monday, April 17, at noon 
 at the Federal Building in Oakland.  At 1 pm the group will march to the 
 Civic Center Post Office - 201  13th St. Oakland.    	Several groups, 
 including Singing for Peace, Threshold Choir, and Mourning Mothers, will 
 join the protest.     	With similar protests in New York (two!), 
 Philadelphia, Bellingham WA, and Petaluma, this action is part of a 
 nationwide effort by grandmothers to highlight the demand that our taxes be 
 used to improve life -- not to destroy life by torture and death.  
 Grandmothers call for an end to the war and a realignment of U.S. 
 priorities.      	Given the enormous cost of the war -- estimated at up to 
 two trillion dollars -- the Grandmothers are especially concerned about the 
 adverse effects of this vastly increased public debt. Funding for 
 education, health, transportation and the entire social infrastructure is 
 diminishing.  The ballooning  national debt means future generations will 
 be burdened with paying it off for the indefinite future.    	To emphasize 
 the fact that our country is “in the red” the protesters will be 
 dressed in red.  Everyone is invited to join the protest.  	This event is 
 endorsed by Vietnam Veterans Against the War,  Center for Conscientious 
 Objectors, Code Pink. Courage to Resist, East Bay Progressive Democrats, 
 Grandmothers for Peace, Gray Panthers, Women for Peace, Labor Committee 4 
 Peace & Justice, Oakland/East Bay NOW, Peninsula Raging Grannies Action
