watch Iraq War Protest report 



A coalition 1 of anti-war groups is planning a march on the Pentagon to protest the Iraq war. The March 17th protest will come on the 40th anniversary of a 1967 march on the Pentagon that was a major milestone 2 in the anti-Vietnam War movement.  VOA's Bill Rodgers reports.


Representatives of almost a dozen civic 3 and anti-war groups announced their plans at a news conference Tuesday in Washington. Organizers say they expect tens of thousands of people to join the protest march on the Pentagon.


 
Cindy Sheehan says the protesters are sending a message to Congress to stop the war
Anti-war activist 4 Cindy Sheehan says the protesters are sending a message to Congress to stop the war. "We have to stand up and say, 'You know what?  We went out in record numbers on November 7th [election day] and we voted against George Bush.  We voted against his lies, we voted against his war, we voted against further aggression 5 and we voted for you to stop it’."


Sheehan's son was killed in Iraq three years ago.  She has been one of the most prominent American anti-war activists 6 since 2005, when she staged a vigil outside President Bush's Texas ranch 7.


The march on the Pentagon this month will come 40 years after a similar mass protest in 1967, a watershed 8 event in the anti-Vietnam War movement.
