Anti-war rally on Jan. 11

PEORIA, IL -- From a news release:

President Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional assassination of a top level Iranian government official is part of a pattern of reckless antagonism determined to bring us to war with Iran.

Join us at Peoria Campus Town, on the corner of Main & University, for a peace rally this Saturday, January 11th, from 2PM-4PM.

Antiwar1

From day one, Trump advocated leaving the Iran Nuclear Deal which was negotiated by former-President Obama and multiple nations from around the globe. Trump’s foreign policy decisions have alienated our international allies, and even our own national security experts believe Trump’s policies are unwise.

Trump campaigned on ending the U.S. involvement in unwinnable wars, yet he is rallying the war cries for another never-ending war in the Middle East.

We say NO more endless wars! NO more death! NO more destruction! NO more wounded veterans! NO more imperialism! NO more trillions of dollars wasted on bombs! We don’t want our working class heroes fighting wars for ruling class cowards!

THEY lied about Vietnam! THEY lied about Iraq! THEY lied about Libya! THEY lied about Syria! We, the People, are fed up with never-ending war, with valuable resources being spent on weapons instead of healthcare, education and caring for our injured veterans. - 30 -

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
