We are organizing for a massive demonstration against the war on Iraq. Just last month we had a Lansing demo of 1000 people. This demonstration should be huge with groups coming from all over Michigan. Please join us in speaking out against war February 15th. In addition to the peace march will be a Direct Action Faction feeder march for those interested in civil resistance and direct action! For more info check out:

THE RADICALS

Stop the War!
Fight the System!

Statewide Day of Resistance to War in Iraq!

February 15th Lansing, Michigan

Join the Direct Action Faction Breakaway March

1pm Ranney Skate Park. 300 Frandor Ave.

Corner of Frandor Ave. & Michigan Ave., right off of US- 127.

In conjunction with the Statewide peace march scheduled for Lansing, Michigan on February 15th, numerous groups are also working on building a more radical presence in the antiwar movement. Direct Action has called for radical breakaway march for those interested in taking the movement a step further.

Many feel that the potential tragedy that would be enacted by accelerated bombing of Iraq by the U.S. calls for more drastic action. We will be building a breakaway march to engage in direct action and civil resistance. We are calling for all those interested in turning up the heat on Bush and company to join us for a creative and rowdy display of disruption of business as usual on February 15th in Lansing, Michigan.

We encourage any interested groups to plan creative and disruptive acts that do not harm people, but attempt to put a dent in the capitalist military machine that threatens us all. We not only seek to stop this war, but to stop the social problems that support militarism and exploitation.

We encourage costumes, street theatre, blockades, lockdowns, graffiti, banners, puppets, weapons inspections, a die in, music, and whatever your hearts desire and minds can think of.

Please consider consponsoring this event. Email us if you are interested as soon as possible! We expect this block to comprise a few hundred people, so be creative and come prepared. The larger peace march is expecting a few thousand people. If you would like to help pass out flyers for the event or volunteer in any way please check out our webpage: http://www.direct-action.net/

Blockades? Floor it!!!!(joking..sort-of) :)

BTW - The MAIN march starts at 12:30 at the Beaumont Tower at MSU

Anyone up for an adventure? :)

[Terriergal]

BRING signs that say "Friends of Saddam" and "Pro terrorist group" or the like, and be sure to draw huge arrows and stand very quietly with the arrows pointing toward the peace demonstrators.

[Dan from Michigan]

Oh yeah, BTW, for any spelling cops here, PIECEnik's was an INTENTIONAL spelling, since these types really aren't the peaceful sort if you catch my drift.

"Pieceniks"?

[Michael Barnes]

Has anyone tried to get a hold of Ted Nugent on this? Is he even remotely around the area that this is taking place??

I'd like to get a peace of those pieceniks but their worthless hides aren't worth the trouble.

The Politics of Direct Action (from their website)

Gee, another communist group is against the war. What a surprise.

I shouldn't paint them all with the same brush, though, right? < /sarcasm >-- even though ALL of the antiwar groups' websites sound essentially the same. The left insists that the peace movement is "increasingly mainstream" and that objecting to the social agenda of these groups is nothing more than red-baiting and McCarthyism.

Mainstream, my @$$.

[hellinahandcart]

Why didn't you bold this part?

We encourage any interested groups to plan creative and disruptive acts that do not harm people, but attempt to put a dent in the capitalist military machine that threatens us all. We not only seek to stop this war, but to stop the social problems that support militarism and exploitation.

(Sounds like they plan on breaking some windows, Dan. ;D)

[Dan from Michigan]

Better not break mine...or I'm gonna get mad, and they don't want to see me get my Irish temper up.

[apackof2]

but to stop the social problems that support militarism and exploitation.

Of course Saddam does none of this!

Count me in

Liberate Iraq

[netmilsmom]

I just posted it on the NUGE Board. Hopefully Ted will get the word.....

[freepersup]

Good catch Dan,
I'll give some serious thought to attending...
Thanks for the heads up.

We will be building a breakaway march to engage in direct action and civil resistance.

We are calling for all those interested in turning up the heat on Bush and company to join us for a creative and rowdy display of disruption of business as usual on February 15th in Lansing, Michigan.

Care to FReep bump

[apackof2]

Care to join us?

Or send along to anyone who might be interested in a counter protest of the peaceniks

[photogirl]

Sorry, I won't be able to attend, I've got to shoot two weddings that weekend. If I could, I'd be there. However, I just found out that GVSU, the school I go to in GR, has a Republician club so I will send the word on to them. Also, we should contact Right To Life, and GOP's. Maybe other colleges too...I'll work on local schools. How 'bout family of military? Any ideas?
