"March of the Dead" Demonstration on Capitol Hill

On Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2009, Antiwar activists dressed all in black, with white death masks, paraded in a steady rain and in single file, past the U.S. Supreme Court, and around the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, D.C., as the new 111th Congress convened inside. The "March of the Dead" participants wore around their necks the names of those killed in conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Israeli Occupied Gaza. The U.S. Congress has repeatedly voted hundreds of billions of dollars to support those two wars. Check out: http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home. In addition, Congress continues to subsidize, to the tune of billions of taxpayers dollar a year, the state of Zionist Israel. See, http://www.wrmea.com/.

Obama is a puppet. He recently deployed more troops to Irak and has plans of invading Pakistan.

I've been looking for footage of this death mask protest. I watched the opening of the 111th Congress on Cspan-1 and they were whispering about it. I think that its the coolest thing this year. Lets hope the crony capitalists and oligarchists in Congress are on their toes this year. They've been given notice about the sea change in this democracy. Excellent work giving voice to the voiceless!

Your right! and it's not want i spread to others and the percentage you give. That is the percentage on the revolution for independence. That war was with guns and even funded war against the British Empire that some say we lost. Now they are more prepared and have been slowly brainwashing, poisoning the air and water. Now there is only a change for a peaceful revault. Now that is against the law and talking about as well is censored and there is a plan for that.
