WEST POINT WAR PROTEST VP DICK CHENEY
ORANGE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE PRESS RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE - DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE - APRIL 12, 2007
Dear Friends and Veterans for Peace,
On May 26, 2007, Dick Cheney is the featured speaker at the West Point
Graduation. In the prior two years, Mr. Rumsfeld and President Bush
spoke.
As residents of Orange County and the Hudson Valley, we feel morally
obligated to continue to protest the war in Iraq and to show this
administration that people in this region will NOT accept the
perpetuation of this war. Dick Cheney announced at the onset of the war
that it will not end in our lifetime. We are assembling before the future
leaders of the American military to say that in their best interests,
and in ours as a nation, and as a people, we will not allow Cheney's dire
prophecy to be fulfilled. Allowing Vice President Cheney to appear in our
region without protest is tantamount to support of this war and
condonation of current American foreign policy.
As we refuse to be complicit, we will be heard. Help us organize the
largest action the Hudson Valley has seen - unify in concerted opposition
to this war.
We will assemble at 8:30 am at the Veteran's Park in Highland Falls on
Main Street. We will march to, and we expect, through Thayer Gate into West
Point and then re-assemble for a rally.
Please Click here <e-mail > your endorsement for this peaceful rally and, most
critically, organize your own members, your own community to join us and demonstrate
massive opposition to this President's war.
We appreciate your support and would also welcome your identifying
anyone from your organization who would like to address those assembled.
Please let me know of any speakers as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Michael H. Sussman for the Organizing Committee
