Organizers in Des Moines will encourage and aid and abet small affinity groups to make visits to members of congress to demand they vote against funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some of these visits may be unannounced and employ creative nonviolent means to communicate our position and visitors may choose not to leave offices until representatives agree to stop supporting these wars with funding. Returns to the Des Moines offices of Senator Grassley and Rep. Boswell, visited in September with the Declaration of Peace, will be made. Senator Harkin’s position on funding will be looked into. Some friends in South West Iowa will want company when they go to visit Rep. Steve King’s office in Creston
Local participation in the Occupation Project with a rally/press conference at noon on Thursday, February 8, at 12:00 outside the Federal Building downtown Des Moines. Each Thursday, then, for the next eight weeks we will join with the faithful and persistent group who have held vigil for peace for the last several years in Nollen Plaza, downtown Des Moines, from 11:30am to 1:00pm.
