I hereby make a commitment that on the Third Friday of each and every month, I will break my daily routine and take some action, by myself or with others, to end the War in Iraq.

Iraq Veterans Against the War Washington, D.C. Chapter President Geoff Millard
Neutralizes "The O'Reilly Factor"
Geoff Millard was on "The O'Reilly
Factor" on Wednesday night, but instead of rising to Bill's
bait about Congress condemning Rush Limbaugh, Millard
pointed out that the media and Congress are avoiding the
real issue. "We're talking about people who talk about the
war, instead of talking about the war. I find it kind of
despicable as a veteran of the Iraq War that I can't see, on
TV, people actually talking about the war." Play the
video to watch IVAW's DC Chapter president unspin the
"no-spin zone".

No Honest Media Coverage of Iraq
Partners for Peace's advocacy for the often
silenced voices of women is unique among organizations working
on Middle East issues. The fresh approach of Partners for
Peace brings the voices of Israeli and Palestinian women
directly to communities and media throughout the United
States. Through their work, many groups and individuals around
the country have become engaged in the growing movement for a
just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

CD Doesn't Always Mean A Digital Disc
In a different location, the IVAW team participates in the "frozen moment" at Grand Central Station in D.C., where 207 "Undercover Agents" showed up to "freeze" in place all over the station for five minutes. Both locations provided a mind jarring display for all passers-by. YouTube
Geoff Millard, IVAW chapter President for D.C., explains the "freeze" action to FOX reporter in an interview that was unlikely to have been aired. YouTube
Just prior to the March 19 step-off towards the Justice Department and the White House, Bill Perry describes how IVAW is trying to reach the American public, and let them know that the reasons for our impending economic collapse are due to greed and corruption from within our own business and political leaders.

Overseas reporter gets the story in her language as about 200 Veterans march toward the White House to demand the arrest of George Bush and Dick Cheney. Although some domestic news reporters and camera teams were present, not a single mention of this event went out via "mainstream media". There was a total media black-out of this event. YouTube
IVAW members seize the National Archives Building in front of hundreds of surprised museum visitors. Response from visitors including teachers, students and vacationers was highly positive, though there were a few horrified faces in the crowd. IVAW read the terms of the Citizens Arrest Warrant and stood their ground for 90 minutes. They were allowed to leave without being arrested in one of the most spectacular CD events I've ever witnessed. [Note: "I've ever witnessed" does not refer to anyone associated with UsQueers.com.]

"March of the Dead" in D.C. on March 19, 2008. These folks cast a spell where ever they went. Imagine this procession in a mall. GREAT action - LOUSY video! Do this with your own local activists at home. YouTube
This was one of the many CD actions that took place around D.C. on March 19, 2008, here showing the remains of "blood" splattered all over the street in front of the Bechtel offices, as workers clean it up. YouTube
