http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050922/ap_on_go_pr_wh/war_protest;WASHINGTON - Anti-war groups are using a $1 million ad campaign and a demonstration they say will attract 100,000 people to try to re-energize their movement and pressure the Bush administration to bring troops home from Iraq. Organizers of Saturday's protest, which will take marchers past the White House, say it will be the largest since the war began more than two years ago.
Cindy Sheehan, the woman who drew thousands of protesters to her 26-day vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch last month, is among those planning to participate.
"We want to show Congress, the president and the administration that this peace movement is thriving," said Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed last year in Iraq. "We mean business and we're not going to go away until our troops come home." oops! I fell off the wagon!

1. Exactly the right thing to do |
|
Those who can't make it need to keep calling their Congresspeople and continue to write letters to the press.
