CHICAGOMore than 500 people from several Midwest cities joined a rally and march through downtown Chicago to protest Washingtons wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and U.S. support to Israels occupation of Palestine. Many marchers carried signs demanding an end to FBI raids against antiwar activists. Joe Iosbaker, one of the 14 people whose homes were raided by the FBI September 24, addressed the rally. He announced the decision of all 14 who were subpoenaed by the grand jury in Chicago to refuse to testify. Angela Roxworthy, a student at McHenry County College, came with others from the Student Peace Action Network. Obama said they would get the troops out of Iraq, but we are not out of Iraq. And the war in Afghanistan is costing more money and more lives, she said. DENNIS RICHTER Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
