On Wed. June 29 a delegation of mostly local citizens, some recently returned from Libya and including former Rep. Cynthia McKinney called a press conference in front of Congressman John Lewis's downtown Atlanta office. They demanded to know why Lewis, reputedly a "man of peace" cast votes enabling the bombing of civilians in Libya.
The Congressman met with some of them afterward and pledged to not support any further military adventures in Libya. The local groups involved look forward to visiting the offices of other Georgia congressmen to persuade them to refrain from supporting the illegal and unjust US military intervention in Libya.
