MARCHING FOR PEACE FOR OUR PEOPLE AND JUSTICE FOR OUR "LEADERS"
-THE PRECINCT MASTER-
Introducing the March on the PentagonSaturday, March 17, 2007-THE PRECINCT MASTER-
Cindy Sheehan
"One of the reasons we are marching on the pentagon on March 17 is for impeachment and accountability… The Bush regime has committed so many crimes against humanity, they are enemies of humanity and that is one of the reasons we must march... The real issues are ending the occupation of Iraq to save our soldiers and save the people of Iraq and the real issue is not to invade Iran….We must march…" - Cindy Sheehan
~ 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 march on the Pentagon ~~ 4th anniversary of the start of the Iraq war ~~ Where we will assemble on March 17th ~
Where we will Assemble on March 17
Tens of thousands of people will be gathering at 23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW at 12 noon near the Vietnam Memorial prior to the March on the Pentagon on Saturday, March 17. We will not be in the Vietnam Memorial. From this area, we will march over the Arlington Memorial Bridge to Virginia on the way to the Pentagon.
The 58,000 U.S. soldiers who lost their lives in Vietnam and the millions of Vietnamese who were killed, died in a criminal war. The connection between Vietnam and Iraq could not be more clear. Iraq is also a criminal war of aggression. The central issue today, just as it was in 1967, is to bring the war to an end.
Thousands of veterans and military families, including those who have lost loved ones in Iraq, will be in the front ranks of the March on the Pentagon.
Some tiny pro-Bush groups who support the war in Iraq, and who normally mobilize about 25 people to hold signs when massive antiwar protests take place, are now callously trying to manipulate Vietnam veterans by spreading rumors that the March on the Pentagon will defile the Vietnam Memorial. This lie should be treated with the same contempt that people have for the other lies promoted by Bush and his followers to justify an illegal war of aggression: Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction; Iraq was responsible for the September 11 attacks; and that the U.S. occupation would be greeted as an act of liberation by the Iraqi people. Enough lies. Enough deceit!
On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was "From Protest to Resistance," and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement.
In the coming days and weeks, thousands of organizations and individuals will begin mobilizing for the upcoming March on the Pentagon. Organizing committees and transportation centers are being established to bring people to the March on the Pentagon.
We will assemble at 12 noon at 23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW. Click here for more information.

Statement from the ANSWER Coalition on the March 17-18 Global Days of Action
The people of the United States want an end to the war in Iraq. The elections in November were a clear repudiation of the Bush administration's war of aggression. The new Congress, however, has no intention of ending the war. Bush and the Pentagon generals are determined to prolong the war. Tens of thousands of more troops will be sent to Iraq. We are building a massive antiwar movement on the national and local level. Only the action of the people will stop the war.
We are returning to the Pentagon because the Iraq war has resulted in more than 655,000 Iraqi deaths (Lancet), on top of more than 1 million killed by sanctions between 1990-2003. This is genocide.
We are returning to the Pentagon because U.S. military deaths has exceeded 3,000. But that doesn't begin to tell the story. There have been 21,921 wounded as of Nov. 30 and another 17,835 evacuated due to serious injury or illness as of Sept. 30, 2005 when the Pentagon stopped releasing these statistics.
We are returning to the Pentagon because it is U.S. missiles and bombs, including hundreds of thousands of cluster bombs that have been sent to Israel to kill and maim the people of Palestine and Lebanon. These weapons are a war crime. The estimate is that between 2 million and 3 million cluster bomblets were dropped on Lebanon, and more than a million remain unexploded -- posing a danger to civilians for years to come. The war in Iraq is one front in the U.S. plan for domination of the Middle East. Colonial occupation is a crime whether it be in Iraq or Palestine or Lebanon.
The Global Military Machine
We are returning to the Pentagon because it maintains 714 military bases in 130 countries to extend the influence of US transnational corporations, oil giants and banks. The slogan of national security and the war on terror stands exposed as a pretext for a global empire enforced by military might and limitless violence.
While the focus of the recent years has been to use military power and violence against the Arab people, the Pentagon has been targeting peoples and nations all over the world. U.S. troops occupy South Korea. U.S. nuclear weapons target North Korea. Interventionist actions are already taking place in the Philippines, and are planned against Cuba, Venezuela, and throughout South and Central Asia.
The Warfare State: Spying, Surveillance, Secret Prisons and Torture Facilities
We are returning to the Pentagon to demand the immediate closure of Guantánamo and all other torture facilities. The grotesque revelations of torture and abuse in Abu Ghraib were the tip of the iceberg. Punishing a few rank and file soldiers and counting on the mass media to tire of the story, the Pentagon has tried to conceal the reality that it engages in arbitrary detention and torture of those it identifies as “enemies.”
We are returning to the Pentagon to demand an end to the surveillance and other spy programs conducted against the people of this country by the Pentagon and other agencies.
Militarism: The Social Costs of the Warfare State
We are returning to the Pentagon because the military budget of this country is a dagger in the heart of programs that meet peoples' needs. More than 47 million people in the U.S. are without health care coverage and one out of every four children is born into extreme poverty. Fifty percent of all bankruptcies in the last year were filed by people who couldn't pay their hospital and doctor's bills.

Fifty percent of all bankruptcies in the last year were filed by people who couldn't pay their hospital and doctor's bills.
Factories are closing and whole communities and neighborhoods are being turned into ghost towns. Skyrocketing tuition is and will continue to make the dream of a college education harder to realize for working class youth. In the last year, Bush and Congress cut money for education, food aid and veterans' benefits while the Senate voted almost unanimously to rubber stamp the new “war” budget of $590 billion (the official budget number of $443 billion conceals at least $150 billion in expenditures.)
We are returning to the Pentagon to challenge the system that is addicted to war and global domination. The Iraq war is a criminal endeavor based on lies. It was always about conquering the entire Middle East with its vast repositories of oil. While the Iraq war has been an absolute catastrophe for the entire people of Iraq and for tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers, it must be remembered that many U.S. corporations are benefiting. They are the recipients of new Pentagon orders for weapons, supplies and contracts. The Iraq war costs approximately $279 million each day. That breaks down to more than $11 million every hour of every day of the year. The total cost of the Iraq war will be $2 trillion, according to the Iraq Study Group report.
Unless the people act now, the human and economic costs of the war will only increase. Let's unite and stand together at the Pentagon on March 17.

Pentagon March Route is Now Set
The Free Speech battle with the State of Virginia has been won! The attempt to obstruct the demonstration has collapsed. More than 2,000 people sent letters to the Virginia Attorney General and people everywhere expressed their outrage that Virginia would attempt to create barriers preventing demonstrators from marching to the Pentagon. This could not have happened without everyone's participation. This combined political and legal challenge, waged with the assistance of the Partnership for Civil Justice, made all the difference. Legal and security issues have been dealt with to ensure a safe and secure march for the participation of the whole family. Click to see more logistical information for the March on the Pentagon.

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR MARCH 17?
There will not be a rally at the assembly area, as we want to hit the streets and march to the Pentagon. There will be a rally at the Pentagon. It is important that everyone make the effort to get to the assembly location at 23rd and Constitution early. Try to get to the site by noon - don't miss the march! If you are coming by bus or driving from out of town, make sure your group is leaving early enough to get you to the assembly site no later than noon.

It is important that everyone make the effort to get to the assembly location at 23rd and Constitution early. Try to get to the site by noon - don't miss the march! If you are coming by bus or driving from out of town, make sure your group is leaving early enough to get you to the assembly site no later than noon.
At the assembly site, between 8 a.m. and 12:30, there will be a pre-march People's Assembly in the park at 23rd and Constitution. Contingents and organizations will be providing information displays and literature tables. We will be joined by the famous Bread and Puppet Theater. There will be children's activities, including sign-making for the march, where our children can also pick up anti-war balloons. There will be a large Impeach Bush tent with impeachment materials and a place for impeachment advocates from around the country to gather and meet.
The march will begin at 12:30 p.m from 23rd and Constitution, N.W.
For those coming by bus: Bus drop off will be on 23rd St. north of Constitution Ave., right across the street from the opening rally site. Buses will park at the closing rally site (at the Pentagon North Parking Lot) and riders will board them after the rally. (See sections below on bus drop off, parking and pick up.)
For those using public transportation, take the blue/orange line to Foggy Bottom and from there walk straight down 23rd St. to Constitution Ave. After the rally at the Pentagon, you can walk to the Arlington Cemetary metro station on the blue line. (See section above on public transportation.)
For those driving personal cars and vans: You can park in the area of the opening rally site, and take the metro back to your car after the rally at the Pentagon. (See section above on public transportation and below on van/car parking.)

*Updated 2/28*BUS DROP OFF on 23rd St. north of Constitution Ave.
Bus drop off will be on 23rd St. north of Constitution Ave. This is right across the street from the gathering site at 23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW. (Buses should not stop or drop off on Constitution Ave.)
-The image to the left will show the bus drop off location, which is on 23rd St. right across the street from the opening rally site.
Click here for a printable version of this map (8.5x11 inch PDF).
We strongly recommend that all buses utilize this drop off point. This will ensure that everyone arrives on time and does not miss the rally and the start of the march. Buses have dropped off in downtown DC for all of the massive anti-war rallies involving hundreds of thousands of people. Because buses arrive over a period of several hours, there will not be a heavy back-up of buses.
Buses should not drop off and/or park at outlying metro stations. (Those who do this may not arrive on time for the rally and the march step off. It will take a minimum of 45 minutes to ride the metro to the assembly area, you may have to transfer metro lines, it will cost over $2 per person and then you will have to walk to the rally area from the metro exit. After the rally, you will again have to walk back to, pay for and ride the metro, which will delay your departure or require you to leave the Pentagon rally early.) It is only a few minutes walk from the bus drop off point to the rally site.
BUS PARKING & PICK UP AFTER THE RALLLY
After buses drop off at the rally site (see above), they can drive to the rally site at the Pentagon and park there for the day. Following the rally at the Pentagon, bus riders can walk right over to their buses.
Driving directions for bus drivers: Constitution Ave. & Henry Bacon Dr. to Pentagon
Click here for a printable flyer with this image and the driving directions.
Bus organizers should print out copies and give them to your bus drivers.
- Drive south on 23rd St. until you reach Memorial Circle.
- Bear right as you go around the circle. It is best to be in the left lane (of two lanes) at this point.- You will see two bridges to your right. Take the second bridge, which you will reach after 0.3 miles. It is best to be in the far left lane (of three lanes) on the bridge.
- Once across the bridge you will drive into a traffic circle. Take the first exit from it, which is immediately on your right.
- After exiting the traffic circle, take the first exit on your left (this is right away). You will see a brown rectangular sign that says “395 / Ronald National Airport / Alexandria / Mt. Vernon / Next left.”
- You will go around an on-ramp, and then onto a highway. Get into the far right lane.
- After a total of 1.5 miles (from Constitution Ave. and 23rd St.), the right lane becomes an exit lane. You will see a green sign that says “Pentagon North Parking Lot.”
- After taking this exit, you will curve around an off-ramp. Continue to follow the road until it dead ends at a stop sign. The Pentagon North Parking Lot (where you are parking) is directly in front of you.
- At the stop sign, turn left. Look for people with orange flags who will show you where to park.

CONTINGENT ASSEMBLY
The A.N.S.W.E.R. National Office is helping to coordinate contingent assemblies on different areas of the assembly area (23rd St. and Constitution Ave. NW). We recommend that contingents assemble in this area in order not to miss the main rally or the march step off. You can designate a particular banner, flag, balloon, or other marker as something for people joining you to look for, and make sure to bring extra high poles to elevate it above the crowd. This way, everyone coming to your contingent can follow the crowd from the bus drop off location to the main assembly area and then find you - rather than having to find another part of Washington DC.
Please contact the A.N.S.W.E.R. office to let us know about your contingent and to coordinate your assembly point. Please email contingents@internationalanswer.org with your group name, a contact name and phone number, and the plan for your contingent, and we will get back to you to help coordinate your assembly point with that of other groups.

MARCH ON THE PENTAGON - GET THE MESSAGE OUT!
Easy tips on getting local media coverage in the next few days!
BUT FIRST, A REMINDER:
There will not be a rally at the assembly area, as we want to hit the streets and march to the Pentagon. There will be a rally at the Pentagon. It is important that everyone make the effort to get to the assembly location at 23rd and Constitution early. Try to get to the site by noon - don't miss the march! If you are coming by bus or driving from out of town, make sure your group is leaving early enough to get you to the assembly site no later than noon. There will be a pre-march People's Assembly with information displays and activities starting at 8 a.m. Read more:

Also, remember to register your march contingent by clicking on this
link: http://www.pephost.org/site/R?i=CKRrTBmHEhJ_0oCUft_l6g
Please circulate widely!
Dear Ed.,
Saturday, March 17, tens of thousands of people like you will be marching on the Pentagon to say no to the illegal war and occupation of Iraq. Bush's escalation of the war will only bring more death and misery to the people of Iraq and increase the number of casualties among U.S. soldiers. We will be marching on the Pentagon because the bloated military war budget will exceed $590 billion, while 47 million people in this country are without health care coverage and one out of four children is born into extreme poverty.
Our anti war message is one that reflects the sentiment of the majority of people in this country. Now we need to push that message into the local media in the our towns and cities where we are organizing. Many people are hearing about the demonstration through articles, radio spots and TV news features. Most local media are very attracted to local participation in national events. This also attracts people to get on board your bus, van or the car pool that you are organizing.
Here are some steps you can take today to get media attention in your area:
* Contact your local news outlets: newspapers, television and radio stations and let them know that people from your town are organizing to come to Washington on March 17. Make suggestions for an angle that would interest them like interviewing a veteran or a student for example. The most interesting angle of all is that people from your town are traveling together to go to a national anti-war protest in Washington, D.C. You might invite them to an organizing session, a flyering event or a peace vigil where you will be building for the March on the Pentagon. To find media contact information in your area:
go to: http://www.pephost.org/site/R?i=MaZp_qp1fBhKLo4752t96g
* Send a letter to the editor of your local newspapers explaining your opposition to the increased war budget and that you are going to Washington DC on March 17 to protest at the Pentagon. To find out media contact information in your area go to:
http://www.pephost.org/site/R?i=uq4ysXXsCqjgQNt0jM7oLQ
* Contact your local talk shows to explain your position on the war in Iraq. Look for radio stations that take live calls and tell their listening audience your travel plans to Washington on March 17.
Whenever possible try to let them know that they can get complete information at http://www.pephost.org/site/R?i=tgym_iUhU2hCt5_TB8_QUw
In all contact with the media, encourage them to cover your efforts in coming to the march on the Pentagon and also the event itself.
All the hard work that is taking place now in over 200 organizing centers around the country will ensure that March 17 will be a massive expression of opposition to the war makers who are addicted to war.
We still need to raise approximately $40,000 in the next five days to pay for the huge day-of expenses. Many people have already donated and we want to thank each and every person who has made this commitment. If you have not donated for the March on the Pentagon, please do so now. If you have donated and can make another contribution, your support is deeply appreciated. Click this link to make an online tax deductible donation, or to get information on how you can send a

You can now help spread the word about the March on the Pentagon by putting the beautifully designed button (pictured to the right) on your website, blog, or MySpace page.

"Why I'm marching on the Pentagon"
“Common Ground has served more than half a million people without getting any government support,” said Common Ground founder Malik Rahim. “At the same time, billions of dollars have been spent on a needless war in Iraq that has drained our country’s resources which could be meeting people’s needs. We’ll be paying for this war for the next 50 years. That’s why I’ll be marching on the Pentagon on March 17.” -Malik Rahim, Founder of Common Ground.
