Meeting Description: Iraq Comes to Carlsbad

The media magicians want us to think Iraq has disappeared. While they go on and on about a single sentence uttered by Obama or his pastor, lives continue to be shattered for the obscene greed of those controlling our government. This week, NCCPJ sheds light on the reality of the impact of our illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

On Saturday, Gold Star parents, Cindy Sheehan and Fernando Suarez del Solar will be joined by other speakers to talk about the impact our occupation of Iraq is having on our lives, the Iraqi people, our nation and our future. You can meet Cindy prior to the event at a fundraiser brunch at the home of NCCPJ members, Paul Bryant and Lynn Stine.

See below for details for these and other events and on our website at www.NCCPJ.org
