When the Cemetery Sizzles
A hot day for a hot topic -- we staged a protest and demanded action from our Congressman on the Iraq War with a sign honoring all those Pennsylvanian soldiers who have already died in Iraq.
We helped rock the Iraq Summer campaign kick-off in Pennsylvania. The Americans Against Escalation in Iraq are
targeting over 40 legislators across the country and working to put a
stop to this endless war.
Not only are they working with local sponsoring groups (Iraq Vets Against War, Thomas Merton Anti-War
Committee, Pittsburgh Vets Tour, and The American Friends Service Committee), but they welcomed our help at their event too. 
We asked Representative Murphy to take a stand on the Iraq War that we can LIVE with.

Don't call us a mob. We're fighting for justice!
Paul Abernathy, Mid-Atlantic Regional Coordinator of The Iraq Vets Against the War and local native, stands strong with Nish, and Rory Casey and Caleb Payne of the AAEI.
The League under surveillance. It wouldn't be the first time...
Because not only is Iraq part of the war on terror, so is domestic spying, according to this man.
Multitasking as always, we demonstrate while simultaneously gossiping and listening to Paul Abernathy speak.
Shepherding the city children in front of a suburban cemetery.
Lou and Carl point out that this is a grave matter.
A number of us marched in with Paul Abernathy...
...who tried again to make an appointment with Rep. Murphy. After a year of being refused, the frustration and indignation were coming off him in waves.
Everyone but Paul (including the cameraman from Channel 11) got kicked out of the office with the absurd claim that it wasn't a publicly funded office. After that, it was time to roll, so we all looked to the road...
