12:00 - 3:00 PM: Protest at Winchester and Steven Creek, San Jose

The Coalition Against Occupation (CAO) has formed with unity and cooperation, and with the intention of organizing for a weekend of protest on March 21/22, at Stevens Creek Blvd. & Winchester Blvd, the weekend anniversary of the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq. The coalition is open to organizations who agree with our message and will actively organize to stay in San José that weekend to broaden the activist movement, and develop activism in our own community. Our common bond is to demand an immediate end to the illegal occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, Stop Militarizing Our Youth, and for the federal government to develop policies and fund the interests of the American public, toward Peace and Justice.


Current Coalition members:

MAIZ
One Voice!
South Bay Mobilization
Students For Justice - De Anza College

There was no doubt that 9-11, like Pearl Harbor, needed to be avenged,
but Bush had another agenda.

Bush, Cheney, and appointees lied about WMD, aluminum tubes, and Niger Uranium to con Congress into approving an invasion of Iraq, a country that did not have anything to do with 9-11.

In WW-II, in 4 years, FDR put 13,000,000 men in the fight, beat 3 dictatorships, their leaders dead at the end.

After 7 years of War On Terror, neither Bush nor Cheney could find Osama Bin Laden, our US reputation is in the gutter, we're still at war, over 4,200 US Soldiers are dead, over 30,000 maimed for the Bush-Cheney arrogance and lies. They ordered Torture, a violation of Federal Law.

If we as a people hope to force our public officials to obey our laws and our Constitution,
the time is Now
and the way to do it is
to prosecute members of the Bush administration
who violated Federal Laws,
including the law against Torturing prisoners.

The reason that we continue to have unnecessary wars of choice is
that our Congress makes excuses for lawbreaking officials instead of impeaching or prosecuting them.

Unless Obama's statement that “no one is above the law” is a lie,
Obama must appoint a Special Prosecutor for Bush, Cheney and the appointee lawyers that advocated Torture, violated many Federal Laws, our Constitution & the Geneva Convention on Torture.
