4th Anniversary of the Iraq War
A Vigil Outside Senator Schumer's Apartment House
9 Prospect Park West just off Grand Army Plaza
Monday, 19 Mar 2007, 8:30 PM

Four years ago we gathered in front of Senator Schumer's apartment house with candles in hand. We asked the Senator to stand up to the Bush administration. Now, four years and hundreds of thousands of terrorized lives later, Senator Schumer takes the position of those who say that knowing then what they now know would have made a difference.

As the political tide has shifted, Senator Schumer has become ready to take a moral, responsible, and rational stand. Let's remind the Senator of his past choices and that of another time-tested truth: cowardice and political expediencey are not qualities to value in a leader.

Please bring a candle.

From Moveon.org:

Americans across the country are more concerned than ever about our direction in Iraq. Now is the time for Congress to force a change.

On March 19th, thousands of us from organizations across the movement will gather together to observe the fourth anniversary of the war through candlelight vigils. We’ll solemnly honor the sacrifice made by more than 3,000 soldiers and contemplate the path ahead of us. We cannot send tens of thousands of exhausted and under-equipped and unprepared soldiers into the middle of an Iraqi civil war.

Join us at a candlelight vigil on Monday, March 19th. Honor the sacrifice. Stop the escalation. Bring the troops home.
