This Veterans Day, make your voice heard!
This Veterans Day, make your voice heard!

This Veterans Day, make your voice heard! Honor veterans and troops this Friday while speaking out against the war in Iraq!

Here are some ideas to help inspire you:

Make some noise - Call in to your local radio station and get on the air. Talk shows are a great venue to voice opposition to the war and reach the masses. You can find talking points and tips to get you airtime on the CODEPINK website.

Seal it with a click - Write a letter to the editor. Tried and true, a letter to the editor is always an effective communication tool.

Walk the talk - There’s sure to be a parade or memorial happening in your town. Join the patriotic masses and walk among the crowd promoting peace in Iraq with banners or signs. Check out the CODEPINK website for other creative ideas.
For more tips on what to write or say, here’s an advanced copy the latest Op-Ed by Medea Benjamin and Gayle Brandeis: What It Means to Support Our Troops.

Do something important this Friday to show that it is indeed possible -- and patriotic -- to love the troops and hate the war.

1. The Veteran's Day parade was cancelled in Boston
when the Veterans for Peace applied for a permit to march. I kid you not.

Guess they didn't like the conflicting message.
