February 15, 2007:
I just heard an interview with Tom Andrews, former congressman from Maine, who is the director of a "Mainstream" anti-war coalition (pardon the pun) on "Day-to-Day."
Here is a link to their web site: http://www.winwithoutwarus.org/html/coalition.html
Notice that Rainbow is a member! (Actually, Rainbow/Push).
Andrews stated that March 14 is the date when a major piece of legislation is to be voted out of a House committee that will seriously tie Bush's hands to prolong and expand this war. It is a mainstream strategy, and I hope, a serious threat to this administration.
I, of course, would prefer impeachment, but let's support every way possible to end this war and prevent any new ones.
And I am so glad for the timing: I hope to join the Salina peace folks and ride in their van to DC for the candlelight vigil and march from the National Cathedral to the White House on Friday night, March 16, and the March on the Pentagon, March 17.

Anyone else want to join us?
