Veterans for Peace Take Demand to White House Fence

[ginnyrae32]

my son sang a song called Pray for the War Vets in choir. he was 11 years old and just turned 12 this past Apr. 10th. He was so scared to sing infront of all those people but still did it to be brave just like our Troops. please check him out either his name jeffy knerr or look up ginnyrae32 both here on Youtube. God Bless and Thank you

"Our challenge is to transform not just the way we deter and defend, but the way we conduct our daily business. Let's make no mistake: The modernization of the Department of Defense is a matter of some urgency. In fact, it could be said that it's a matter of life and death, ultimately, every American's." Donald Rumsfeld. Sept. 10, 2001. Please write your officials and demand budget reform now. They lost $2.3 trillion then $10 billion in Iraq. Stop it now.

[Samadhiatman500]

I am a veteran for peace. I am going to march too.

[khadijaq]

Thank you "real" Americans for protesting against injustice, wars & illegal occupations against my people! We're one!

From Reflections on 12/16

...These men know the drill, know the pace, and know the mission. Unlike those youthful terrors this is not a day for fear. This is the day when the ante gets raised. And these are the men to meet that clarion call to resistance. No, no need for fear today. These are winter soldiers. The resistance has begun, and let those other white-haired men, mainly, those powerful white-haired men with their hands on the throttle of power tremble at the thought.

Climb the fence and rush the whitehouse [whorehouse] !!!!! Liberals are so scared of violence.Sing your tired old peace songs cause no one is listening.I know you don't really want to change the rotten system.

The Extremists on the FAR ,FAR , Far Right in the USA (Jesus We got em Running Canada into the Ground,just like BUSH did to the USand OBOMBA Continues) CAN'T SEE that they are like the "Other" Reglious FANATICS in the WORLD.Problem is they were Raised on the TELEvangelist TV "Prophets 4 PROFITS" Jerry Falwell and Benny Hinn. They THINK they're CHRISTian,but NEVER Follow Christ's Words or DEEDS. If you're NOT ONE of Em You're the ENEMY. Doesn't Matter if your,Left,Right or Center.

want to see the red flag on white house, and g.w.bush in prison °!°

[karlekarbastaforsvar]

Thanks David Swanson for this video. Well spoken.

[YerJob]

America is over. We can all read the writing on the wall.

Youre broke and the country is slowly being locked down.

[HangProgressives]

Bunch of America hating commie fucks ...kill'em all

[Archangel7771]

this CRAP WON'T STOP THE CORPORATE WAR MACHINE FUNDED BY THE RAND CORPORATION!! THEY'RE LAUGHING AT YOU! THE DEATH AND MURDER WILL CONTINUE.///////////

[powerlesspeach]

Them there are some real professional signs not a grassroot effort, so who is really behind this protest? Freedom comes at a cost. I for one don't want to be caught holding up peace signs or sitting on my rear end doing nothing when the next airplane takes out more American people. 

[NOVFP]

Nice work. Now do this every day all winter.

[WillDanceAlone2U]

It is a small beginning for greater demonstrations against the wars. My congratulations to them to go out there under the cold and snow.

But why is it that the American Average Joe does not seem to care? Why is it

that they fail to see that actions by those individuals that make-up the US

government have claimed millions of lives in their Cheney-Halliburton and like-minded plotted wars?

One miilion lives taken in Iraq. Nine trillion dollars disappeared from the Treasury. Do YOU care?

[starkweather444]

Where are the young people, it is too bad that we are leaving this to the same people who effected change protesting the Vietnam war 40 years ago. It's time for people my age stepped up and took over, let these people rest.

[Isbadd]

If this the best America can muster for a truth, we are in deep doo doo. Where are the young people?

[Wildrosestands]

Although it is hard to fathom, you do not have the right to freedom of speech on UNITED STATES, INCORPORATED property. Obama hates all of your guts, so don't expect him to come out and support free speech for you. Killing America's defenders and drawing them away from the motherland is his objective and objective of his Islamic and financial masters. How else, would his U.N. soldiers be able to take over or to kill you? You have absolutely no rights to protest on THEIR PROPERTY!

[geo1671]

These are true Americans--very few I may say! Home of the Brave--but none of the Land of the Free. America has the same VERY dangerous cult tribe controlling the military complex and politicians as NaziGermany--called once Ashkenazim Tribe members today's ZionistJews. After 9 years little late but not enough. Sure Cure--displace Zionist control TERM LIMITS 2x4 max {:^/

[KCUAC]

ummmm....... these folks should let the Islamic freaks know about this whole "PEACE" thing as well.... and don't forget North Korea you idiots, just head on over there and protest the war if you have the balls, and oh yeah, send me the video if you make it back alive

[geo1671]

@KCUAC --U idiot at large--I got bad news for you . 9/II attacks were not done by Muslim but Israel operatives--inside job--why don't you settle in Israel--they would love you--a Zionk racist

Note: why are some Americans such @ssholes--must be the Fluride in the toothpaste and water

[admin2war]

Thank you all for having more balls than any of those bastards in gov't or boardrooms who make their filthy livings from war / hatred / bullshit. Anyone voting for Dems anymore is complicit.

[boardsailor]

THANKS! to all who participated in this action. PEACE NOW!

I wonder if/when President Obama will respond to the VFP requests to speak with him about the wars?

[TrevaLynVF]

I learned on twitter that Daniel Ellsberg, Ray McGovern & over 100 others were arrested at this protest. (Thanks for the tweet Mr. Ellsberg.) It seems, the only time people protest in this country and don't get arrested, especially in major cities and our Nation's Capital, is when they're right-wing nuts. They have to act violently to get arrested...if that's enough. But protest against war & other bad Gov't policies in a harmless manner & riot cops will find excuse to bust you. Fascism sucks!

[Arrowhead2k1]

God bless you all.

I don't actually believe in God, but my sentiment is all the same.

[djsdojo83]

We need millions of protesters out there to fill the streets lets see them arrest millions of Americans!!

[1LtMike]

Very nice! Very nice indeed!

[kngofqns]

AWESOME JOB! A GREAT MANY THANKS TOO ALL THESE PEOPLE FOR MAKING THE STAND!

[madebutante]

Awesome! So encouraging to see this! We Shall Overcome!

[badjer1785]

in 10/20 years we will either be fucked, or well be out of the desert and history will look back at iraq and afghanistand as vietam 2.0

[Mariet31]

Did you hear they arrested Daniel Ellsberg?

Apparently, peaceful protest makes you look more dangerous than all the members of Al Qaeda should together.

[neonhapy98]

seriously, it was an illegal demonstration. All they had to do was get permission but, no, they are gonna instead do this illegally and throw stuff on the white house lawn. Stand up for whatever you want, but whether its 50, 500, or 50000 people, its not going to change the presidents mind on what is being done. Did your protesting do anything in the 60's or 70's? The war will end in due time, but not because of your stupidity in being involved in illegal demonstrations!

[finnertyManuel]

@neonhapy98 Oh gee, sorry. Yeah , you're right. Nevermind. How stupid to think that citizens could or should think that the truth (which is that these wars are totally about corporate/military greed and do no good for anyone at all) is worth standing up for. Especially if its ILLEGAL. (as if invading Iraq, Guantanamo, torture, etc. was legal... but our MASTERS can do what they want...)

[leafwatch]

@neonhapy98 Right, because it's way more important to get rinky-dink bureaucratic permission slips than it is to assemble peaceably to tell the truth and speak against heinous murders in illegal, undeclared wars in, how many countries now? Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and counting...People die every day, but we should tie ourselves up in red tape and be silenced while we wait and the wars go on.

Meanwhile you sleep warm and comfy in your bed and thousands are displaced by war.

[UNIVERSITYHI]

@neonhapy98 Your argument is reductionist. Even in middle school we wondered if the Germans in WWII knew they were duped or were willing participants or simply just duped. These people will let history know that at least some were opposed to killing the Muslims et al for profits.

[TrevaLynVF]

@neonhapy98 It was not the intention of the true patriots that authored our Bill of Rights & amended our Constitution to require the People to request permission to petition the government & otherwise exercise our 1st Amendment right to free expression. We are the government, at least in concept. If not, it is because enough people in this country have either chosen to reject this role, or were conditioned to believe that we must obey public servants. (What boss obeys subordinates?)

[evil001987]

@neonhapy98

Doesnt matter if this protest changes the war. I think its great to se that not all americans think that america is the best there is and america has right to decide the fate of the rest of the world.

Im not american and im not living in america, but the only thing we see of americans is stupid rednecks who wants war and think all american wars is justified just because america is the best country there is.

This protest shows that not all americans are the same.

[oldbluekid]

Peace now!

[acapoz100]

Ron Paul for Speaker of the house, He will stop all funding of these wars and stop the wasteful building of schools roads bridges overseas. as well as foreign military and economic aid. Then Finally American tax dollars will go to work for Americans in America

[StephinRazin]

Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

[BVProductions]

Much love to all those out there standing up!

[kbarker715]

Thank you, VFP and other activists, for so determined an effort to get this country's people and leadership to stop these endless, immoral, life-sapping, illegal, and evil wars.

They are killing us all. They are destroying the future.

[lafanfafra]

Nice !

[ralphiesmom2]

Way to go! This is the leadership we need, Vets for Peace. So proud of you all.

[rubiconski2008]

The Democrats are warmongering zionist scum!

Stop voting for them or giving them any support whatsoever.

They are part of the problem not the solution!

STAND FOR PEACE NOW!

[DaleSnapp]

Thank you all for standing for what I also believe in. Peace + Justice + Truth

[googcast]

ENJOY YOUR APATHY CITIZENS OF AMERICA!

[ghostcar]

Way to go Veterans for Peace ! 

[ToddBoyle]

None of the wars since at least WW2 have been self defense. The U.S. has killed millions of innocent people in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. Those people never attacked the U.S. So why did we kill them? I condemn the Veteran. They have not served America. They disserved. The reputation and standing of the soldiers, the veterans, and the Congress and President institutionally AND INDIVIDUALLY, comes from the character of their actions, not by wishful thinking,

[cityfarmorganics]

Like protesting against cancer?? Give me a break. If enough of us WANT IT, the war WILL end. But people have to stop being apathetic and forgetting that people are dying because it isn't on the news. It is OUR responsibility as Americans to stand up for what we believe in. If we don't, who will?

[SICKM0F0]

@cityfarmorganics u believe in shock n awe?

[buschy58]

Well done friends. I stand with you in solidarity and wish I was there with you. Non violent acts of resistance give voice to the truth.

Tina

[Fuzileer]

This is like protesting against cancer - we all want it over, but seriously? And did I hear someone yell out "No war with North Korea"? Of course we're not at freakin war with north korea. We've tried talking with them, but theyve all failed so far. Jeez

[AgrivatedKillah]

@Fuzileer That was the worst analogy ever.

You should be shot in the knee cap for that.

[STAGMAG]

Well done everyone. Solidarity. We are with you.

[wiselionman]

St Louis Veterans For Peace held a smaller protest in St Louis and many other anti-war groups held demonstrations around the nation at the same time.

[JTRockville]

Thanks to everyone who participated in this rally.

Peace now!

[zebra334]

!!! In Solidarity from Portland Oregon !!! - joe anybody 

[Draverayevans]

WE, THE PEOPLE, are many. THEY, the corporatist profiteers in blood and destruction are few. We WILL overcome!!! THANK YOU, my brothers and sisters.

Dave Evans

[PawSoxMom]

Thanks David. We are working on FB to network this out right now.

[FreeWill2000]

you are fantastic!!

[hannah4peace]

thanks to all my awesome friends there! love you ALL! 

[littlewing19380]

~Deep Respect And Many Thanks For Taking A Stand For Peace!~

[cacoune]

I recognized many faces from our anti-war rallies (DC , NY and Phila) I regret I couldn't join you today! One of you has his mom 91 years old there. I salute her as I salute you all. I am with you in spirit. BRING THEM HOME, stop the lies. Mr Obama are you listening? Just think how many children could be fed, how many families could be saved with the billions we spend for those freaky, unjust wars!

[sasha031]

Thank you for posting this, it is so tragic.....our never ending wars.

Bless The Veterans for Peace.
