Help Iraq and Afganistan Veterans tell their stories
Help and donate money so Iraq and Afganistan Veterans can participate in the Winter Soldier and tell their stories.

http://www.ivaw.org/wintersoldier

This spring, Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) is revealing the reality of the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. In what will be history's largest gathering of U.S. veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as Iraqi and Afghan survivors, eyewitnesses will share their experiences in a public investigation called Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan.

Once again, our country needs Winter Soldiers.

From March 13-16, 2008, Iraq Veterans Against the War will gather in our nation's capital to break the silence and hold our leaders accountable for these wars. We hope you'll join us, because ours is a story that every American needs to hear.

Help to Spread the Word

1. My chapter of the VFP is holding Winter Soldier fundraisers

We have another one scheduled on Feb. 9th on Cape Cod.


IVAW estimates that $350,000 will be needed for travel, lodging, publicity, air time, etc. The VFP has pledged $50,000 towards this effort.

I wish some big name music people would do a fundraiser.
