Washington, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, and Highland Park neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We are strongly opposed to war in Iraq!  <br><br> We believe that a pre-emptive war in Iraq will result in the following: <br><br> - An increase in the risk of terrorism, both domestically and internationally. <br>  <br> - Media distraction from Bush Administration scandals. <br>  <br> - Seizure of Iraq's rich oilfields. (Guess who gets Saddam's oil?) <br>  <br> - Needless deaths of innocent Iraqi citizens and Americans. <br>  <br> - A disproportionate percentage of People of Color risking their lives while serving in U.S. Armed Forces. <br><br>  <br>  <br> When we protest: Every Saturday, from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm <br>  <br> Where we protest: In Glassell Park, at Eagle Rock Blvd. and El Paso Ave. (near Albertson's supermarket) <br><br> Please protest with us!
