Earlier last week there was a post about Jack Murtha being at a town hall in NOVA. Check out this report from the town hall that says hundreds of people were turned away from an already overcrowded room of 500.People are talking, organizing and brainstorming about how to take action against the war in Iraq. It's incredible! Five or six town halls in eight or nine days rocks. And with so many town halls scheduled – like the two listed below – there are more opportunities to attract a larger number of participants.
The Virginia Grassroots Coalition will host one of the nationwide "Out of Iraq" forums during its regular monthly meeting to discuss the Iraq War and what we can do to help bring our troops home.
