Protesters Call for U.S. Pullout in Iraq
By TRACI CARL, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Tens of thousands of supporters of a militant Shiite cleric filled central Baghdad's streets Saturday and demanded that American soldiers go home, marking the second anniversary of Baghdad's fall with shouts of "No, no to Satan!"

<http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050409/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq&cid=540&ncid=1480>

-----------------------------------------------

Also: With Congress getting ready to vote for another $82 Billion for Bush's insanity in Iraq and Afghanistan PLEASE CALL your Senators and Reps in DC and ask them to demand a timeline for US exit from Iraq and that the US relinquish all permanent military bases in Iraq BEFORE the money is approved.

Thanks for all you do!
