Don't Attack Iraq!

DON’T ATTACK IRAQ
By Mike Rhodes

Fresnan’s demanded an end to the DRUMBEAT OF WAR during a 10 mile march for peace in Fresno that took place on Saturday, September 14. With signs and banners demanding DON’T ATTACK IRAQ and UNITED AGAINST WAR over 100 protestors took their message to the streets and the offices of Congressional Representatives. Protest organizer Vince Lavery presented a letter to Rep. George Radonovich’s aides at the beginning of the march. The protestors demanded an end to the current attacks on Iraq and for our representatives to pursue a policy of peace in the Middle East.

The march from Van Ness and Shaw Ave proceeded down Blackstone and ended at Congressman Cal Dooley’s office on the Fulton Mall. Along the route marchers were greeted by many cars honking their horns in support. When they arrived at the mall they attempted to deliver a letter to Dooley’s aides. Dooley’s representatives, who had agreed to accept the letter, were nowhere to be found when marchers arrived.

Further protests are planned. For more information about Peace Fresno call 559-23PEACE (559-237-3223) or visit their web site at: http://www.fresnoalliance.com/peacefresno
