PASADENA, January 2, 2007 –A small group of anti-war activists were able to get their message out at the New Year’s Day parade in Pasadena today. Peace activists succeeded in hanging a large banner which read “STOP WARS” along the parade route. Also at another location a large sign reading “IMPEACH” was raised and clearly seen on a live TV broadcast of the parade. Demonstrators were also able to march following at the end of the parade for the full length of the parade route. The response from parade goers was mostly positive.

DECEMBER 31, 2006 - The US military death toll in Iraq hit 3,000 today. Dustin Donica of Spring, Texas, could have the dubious honor of being the 3,000th US soldier to be killed in Iraq, he was only 22 years old. Latest public opinion polls show that close to 70% of the public oppose the war in Iraq. Yet both the president and the newly elected congress are considering plans to escalate the war and send more troops to Iraq.

The call for protests has been made by a number of different peace groups. Various peace organizations are encouraging people to gather at local vigil sites or at any government or corporate office associated with the war and demand an immediate end to the war.

  • UPDATE: Veterans for Peace to light 3,000 candles in Santa Monica tonight.
