Iraq Moratorium Protest

Friday, October 17th

12 noon - 1 pm

Military Recruiters Office

1616 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena 91106

The Pasadena Iraq Moratorium will hold an anti-war protest action in front of the Military Recruiting Office on Colorado Blvd., across from Pasadena City College, Friday, October 17, from 12 noon to 1 pm to persuade potential recruits not to join the military due to the continued war and occupation of Iraq.  Over 4,000 US soldiers and over 1 million Iraqis have been killed.  Taxpayers have paid $750 billion for the Iraq war and occupation and related costs, nearly as much as taxpayers will pay for the bail-out of Wall Street financial institutions in the recent crash.  US soldiers, Iraqis, taxpayers, education, health care and other services are suffering and will only suffer more. We must begin to stop the destruction of our economy and Iraq by ending the war and occupation.  Join us!
