march 17th is more than st patrick's day (and beth's birthday)

from wildheart,

(A march on the Pentagon is being organized in support of ending the Iraq war now AND to call for the impeachment of Mad King George. The date is March 17th, the 4th yr. anniversary of this immoral insult to all humanity. It is also the 40th anniversary of the March on the Pentagon in 1967 against the Vietnam War. This will be the first march on the Pentagon since then. The King with No Clothes and his Court of Henchmen (and some Henchwomen)have tried to block this march from happening. But, after five months of trying, organizers now have the needed permits. Hope to see you all there. )
