GREENS PLAN AND JOIN RALLIES AND ACTIONS ACROSS THE U.S. IN THE MARCH 19 'GLOBAL DAY OF PROTEST' AGAINST THE IRAQ WAR

Military threats against Iran and Syria risk a greater war between the U.S. and Middle East, warn Greens.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Green Party members across the country will participate in the 'Global Day of Protest' against the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq, planned for Saturday, March 19, the second year anniversary of the invasion.

"The Green Party of the United States took a strong position against the invasion from the very beginning," said Rebecca Rotzler, Deputy Mayor of the Village of New Paltz, New York (see event listing below). "We opposed the vote by Democrats and Republicans in Congress to surrender the legislative branch's power to declare war to the White House, warning of massive violation of national and international law."
