This is an annual meeting of all the propeller heads from the "defense" contractors like Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, Blackwater, Triple Canopy, Bechtel, etc. who sell death and destruction to the govenment and buy legislation, access and endless war with the massive profits.
This was Monday, March 30, 2009.
No one was assaulted like last year.

Kathy Kelly, Bill Quigley and Audrey Stewart went to Egypt, aiming to maintain a presence close to the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, near the city of Rafah. They linked up with other internationals there and hope to coordinate efforts with other activists who have assembled there.
Here is part three of Kathy at Colorado College speaking after her return.
BTW, the GIYUS stooges posting here will be blocked and their comments have been removed. The mossad and thier stooges have polnety of room on YouTUbe for their lies and propaganda, and CSaction will not provide more. The students of University of Northern Virginia that have been writing are wasting their time.
Voices in the Wilderness calls for:
1) an immediate end to Israels military offensive into Gaza;
2) the withdrawal of all of Israels military forces from Gaza;
3) the opening of all border crossings into and out of Gaza to allow for the immediate delivery of all necessary humanitarian and medical supplies, including medical personnel;
4) the suspension of all U.S. assistance to Israel until such time as Israel ends its military offensive against Gaza; and,
5) the immediate end to the use of violence against populations in Israel and in the Occupied Territories of Palestine.
Kathy Kelly, of Chicago, Ilinnois, founded Voices in the Wilderness, a campaign to end the UN/US sanctions against Iraq,and for bringing medicine and toys to Iraq in open violation of the UN/US sanctions. She and other campaign members were notified of a proposed $163,000 penalty for the organization, threatened with 12 years in prison, and eventually fined $20,000, a sum which theyve refused to pay.
Voices in the Wilderness organized 70 delegations to visit Iraq in the period between 1996 and the beginning of the Operation Shock and Awe warfare (March 2003). Kelly has been to Iraq twenty four times since January 1996, when the campaign began.
In October 2002, Voices in the Wilderness declared their intent to remain in Baghdad, alongside Iraqi civilians, throughout a war they still hoped they could prevent. Kelly and the team stayed in Baghdad throughout the bombardment and invasion and maintained a household in Baghdad until March, 2004. During 2007, she spent five months in Amman, Jordan, living amongst Iraqis whove fled their homes and are seeking resettlement.
During the first two weeks of the Gulf War, she was part of a peace encampment on the Iraq-Saudi border called the Gulf Peace Team. Following evacuation to Amman, Jordan, (February 4, 1991), team members stayed in the region for the next six months to help coordinate medical relief convoys and study teams.
Kelly helped organize and participated in nonviolent direct action teams in Haiti (summer of 1994), Bosnia (August, 1993, December, 1992) and Iraq (Gulf Peace Team, 1991). In April of 2002, she was among the first internationals to visit the Jenin camp, where conventional military forces of the Israeli Defense Force had destroyed over 100 civilian homes, in the Occupied West Bank.
She and three companions from Voices were in Beirut, Lebanon during the final days of the Israel-Hezbollah war in the summer of 2006 and subsequently reported from southern Lebanon following a ceasefire.
In 1988 she was sentenced to one year in prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites. Kelly served nine months of the sentence in Lexington KY maximum security prison.
In the spring of 2004, she served three months at Pekin federal prison for crossing the line as part of an ongoing effort to close an army military combat training school at Fort Benning, GA.

This is the annual march in Colorado Springs to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King.
The march goes from Acacia Park to Shove Chapel on the Colorado College campus for speeches and music.
You can contact the committee here:
MLK, Jr. Holiday Committee
p.o.box 60332
Colorado Springs, Co. 80960-0332

The struggle so far:
1870
The 15th Amendment is ratified by the states, giving African-American men the right to vote. Under Reconstruction-era protections, Hiram Revels is the first African-American elected to the U.S. Senate and Joseph Hayne Rainey becomes the first African-American member of the U.S. House, followed by Georgia's Jefferson Franklin Long.
1877
Reconstruction ends as part of a deal that settles a disputed presidential election. Over the next three decades, Southern states adopt so-called Jim Crow laws that enforce segregation and effectively disenfranchise African-Americans through poll taxes, literacy tests and similar measures. Whites whose forefathers had held the right to vote before black enfranchisement are exempted under "grandfather" clauses. Violence is also used to intimidate would-be black voters.
1896
The U.S. Supreme Court, in Plessy v. Ferguson, clears the way for Jim Crow laws by upholding the doctrine of "separate but equal" facilities for blacks and whites.
1915
The U.S. Supreme Court outlaws grandfather clauses, but states quickly devise legislative end runs that preserve discriminatory voting laws.
1937
The U.S. Supreme Court upholds Georgia's poll tax in Breedlove v. Suttles, ruling against a white man who challenged it because women who did not register to vote were exempted.
1941-45
Millions of African-Americans serve in the military during World War II. Returning home, many are emboldened by their experiences to seek the vote.
1946
In an early example of organized voting rights action, a group of activists from Columbus, Ga., wins a legal challenge to the state's whites-only Democratic primaries.
1954
The NAACP wins the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, effectively overturning the "separate but equal" philosophy underlying Jim Crow laws. A growing movement of nonviolent resistance demands voting rights and an end to segregation.
1955-56
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. launches his career as a civil rights leader with the Montgomery bus boycott.
1957
The largely toothless but psychologically significant Civil Rights Act of 1957 gives the attorney general the authority to sue on behalf of African-Americans denied the right to vote.
1960
The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee is formed to organize a growing movement of sit-ins and other protests, and John Lewis, now a congressman from Atlanta, becomes one of its early leaders.
1962
SNCC and other groups begin voter registration drives in Mississippi and elsewhere in the South.
1963
Hundreds of thousands of people join the March on Washington, where King delivers his "I Have a Dream" speech.
1964
Poll taxes are outlawed with the adoption of the 24th Amendment and activists from throughout the nation work to register black voters in a "Freedom Summer" drive in Mississippi.
1965
John Lewis (now aU.S. Rep. representative for Georgias 5th Congressional District.) is severely beaten as he leads a voting rights march in Selma, Ala. National media coverage of the violent suppression of the marchers galvanizes public support for passage of the Voting Rights Act. It permanently bars direct barriers to political participation by racial and ethnic minorities and requires jurisdictions with a history of discrimination in voting to get federal approval of changes in their election laws.
1966
Edward Brooke of Massachusetts is the first African-American elected to the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction. Today, the Congressional Black Caucus has more than 40 members.
1977
Patricia Harris, as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, is the first black Cabinet member.
1989
Douglas Wilder of Virginia becomes the first black governor of a U.S. state.
2001
Colin Powell is confirmed as the first African-American secretary of state.
2008
Barack Obama is elected president.
