We will be on the North Texas Blvd bridge over I-35 E in front of the main entrance to UNT from 9am to 11am to maximize our exposure to freeway traffic and raise awareness of the majority in opposition to the escalation of troops in Iraq.
Please bring large signs with short and simple messages so they can be read from a distance.
Take the North Texas Bl exit from either direction on I-35 E.
Speak out against Pentagon plans to start unrestricted endless deployment of State National Guard forces. Bring your banners, signs, flags, and yourselves to publicly oppose the continuation of the losing illegal war in Iraq.

EMERGENCY 3K ACTION ALERT
Posted: Thursday December 28th, 2006
As of this writing there are now 2,990 reported KIA in Iraq for a lie. The past month has seen an increase in military operations by both the Allied forces and the insurgents, with resulting increase beyond the average of approximately 3 KIA daily prior to that time. The 3,000th will probably be Friday or Saturday, Dec 29 or Dec 30
The plan is for a demonstration in support of the troops and against the war day to be held the day AFTER the 3,000th KIA is announced on the website http://icasualties.org/oif
The vigil is intended for 5pm-7pm in the area of North Texas Blvd and I-35, near the main entrance to UNT. (TAKE THE NORTH TX BLVD EXIT FROM EITHER DIRECTION ON I-35) Bernie will be coming up from Carrollton with his large VFP banners which we intend to display facing traffic on the N. TX Blvd overpass bridge to provide mass visual impact to the maximum number of persons.
Space will be limited there, so if a large number of people show up I suggest that they line the sidewalk(s) from the corner in towards UNT. North TX Blvd is a 20mph zone in that area with sufficient curves and corners that it should slow down even any potential hostile motorists, such as the guy at Burgess' office in Lewisville last summer.
If anybody needs sign making materials I have a few yard signs collected from the last election available for your use. Email
David Honish or call David at 940-382-2790.
WEATHER? My mother did not raise any fools dumb enough to stand out in the rain. (Well at least not more than once, as we saw at the Old Courthouse Sq last March.) If there is rain let us postpone the event for a day, rather than risk anyone's health standing out in bad weather!
Wage peace,
David Honish
