[GPRI] M.Berg at DC Rally; "NO VOTES FOR WAR FUNDERS

[John Gallagher]

I like that slogan.  Something I'd want to display on
a banner over #95.  The link below also includes
excerpts from Cynthia McKinney's, Appeal for Redress
founder Jonathan Hutto's, and former Attorney General
Ramsey Clark's speeches at the rally.

MICHAEL BERG: Thank you. Thank you for being here.
Three years ago, my son Nick went to Iraq on a mission
of peace to help the people of Iraq rebuild that
country. He was arrested by the Iraqi police and
turned over to the US military, who held him illegally
for thirteen days, thirteen days during which time the
horrible events that took place at the Abu Ghraib
prison -- the rapes, the murders and the torture --
were made public and the city of Fallujah exploded and
the people of Iraq united in resistance against this
country. Because the military held Nick in their
prison until this explosion came, he never made it
home. He was abducted and killed in May of 2004. 

And I stood up and said that Nicholas Berg died for
the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. And I
realized that at the time I would have added Alberto
Gonzales who rewrote those definitions of torture to
allow those atrocities to happen. Well, right now
we’ve got one down, one on the verge, and one to go.
Impeach Bush! Impeach Bush! 

But, you know, the Bush administration, they're not
the only ones that are responsible for this war. I
know how I voted in 2006 and in 2004 and in 2000. Did
you get what you voted for yet? I didn't. We need to
tell our congressmen right now and our congresswomen
right now that we won't vote again for war funders. No
votes for war funders! Send a postcard now to your
congressperson and just say on it: no votes for war
funders! Thank you!
