Citizens and experts will come together in a forum to discuss the war in Iraq. In our brief time together we will address the following three topics:

1) Iowans for Sensible Priorities will address the economic impact of the war in Iraq on the Quad Cities.

2) Dr. Miriam Meyer and Kirt Sickels of the Veterans Hospital in Iowa City will talk about the mental health needs of our returning veterans, and whether our area is prepared to meet them. They will be joined by attorney Clarke Barnes of Geneseo, a retired Marine Colonel, Illinois Circuit Judge, and Veterans Service Representative.

3) Former Congressman Dave Nagle will discuss our options for getting out of Iraq.

As a special attraction we will have the Carny Mobile!

This forum is being co-sponsored by the Peace Forum of Progressive Action for the Common Good, the Iowa Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Pax Christi, NAMI Scott County, and the Social Justice Committee of the Davenport Unitarian Church.
