Who: Patriots For Peace
What: Peace Vigil and Lt. Watada Support Rally
When:  Wed. 4:30PM-dark 2/7/07
Where:  The "Peace Corner" (Evans Blvd. and 192, Melbourne, Florida)

US Army Lieutenant Ehren Watada is the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse deployment to Iraq.  For refusing to participate in an illegal and immoral war, Lt. Watada is facing 6 years in prison and a military court martial.

Patriots For Peace join the AFSC, Military Families Speak Out, Gold Star Families For Peace, and Veterans For Peace in support of Lt. Watada's right to stand up and speak out for his principals, for the rule of international law and the U.S. Constitution. We salute his courageous moral leadership and stand in solidarity with him as he faces a court martial for following his conscience.

Supporters are asked to write Lt. General James Dubik, Commanding General Fort Lewis, 1 Corps Building 2025 Stop 1, Fort Lewis WA 98433. Please request that General Dubik "Dismiss all charges and honor Lt. Watada's long-standing resignation from the U.S. Army."
 
Ask Rep. Dave Weldon (202)-225-3671 and Senator Nelson (202) 224-5274 to do the same.

Stand up for Lt. Watada, our country and for peace.

Contact Vicki (321)720-3520 or vimpoco@cfl.rr.com for more information.
Please forward and distribute to your lists.
