The far-right claims Gwinnett progressives are an insignificant minority—which is not true.

Ben Smith, Gwinnett columnist, asserted in the 9/16/07 AJC: “Rallying against the war in Iraq

while in Snellville seems a little like passing out rain slickers in a desert.”

We ALL have a responsibility to support Gwinnett/DeKalb Citizens for Peace!

The Iraq Moratorium is named after the Oct. 15, 1969, Vietnam Moratorium.

That day, two million people, wearing black armbands and demonstrating, convinced many

leaders that they had to take action to end the Vietnam War. www.iraqmoratorium.org



Join the Iraq Moratorium on the third Friday of every month: Oct. 19, Nov. 16, Dec. 21!

Taking action with others nationwide, we can bring change!
