Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Martin Sheen Speak Against the War on Iraq



The outspoken Georgia Congresswoman spoke at a N.Y.Green Party Benefit aginst the House resolution to be voted on this week to authorize a unilateral war on Iraq. McKinney talked about the Haliburton Corp.which has a sole source contract to profit by the war and the financial interests of the Bush family. While scant attention is being paid to the domestic
economy, the New World Order means more to the few and less to everyone else.

With the Congress poised to vote for Bush’s war on Iraq, the U.S. anti-war movement is starting to come alive. At a rally attended by over 20,000 people in NYC's Central Park this past weekend, the crowd was surprised and delighted to hear from Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins and Martin Sheen . This was the biggest anti-war event in NY and perhaps the nation to date and it demonstrates that despite scant
media coverage the U.S. anti-war movement is growing.
