Five Years Too Many

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

That’s how long we have been fighting the illegal, immoral war in Iraq. As many as 88,976 civilians and3,970 US soldiers have died to date. The body count will only continue to rise for as long we remain there, to say nothing of the number of those physically and psychologically traumatized.

 

Ava Lowry has created another amazing anti-war video that is an absolute must-see. After you watch it stop by 5 Years Too Many.org for information on war protest actions across the nation on March 19th. See if there’s one near you to join. If not, maybe you’d consider starting one.

 

 

Kudos to Ava, and to everyone involved in bringing this war to an end. Indeed, it has been 5 Years Too Many.

 

When a Young Progressive Hero Meets the Rabid Right

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

Ava LowryAva Lowry is the driven teen behind Peace Takes Courage and Ava’s Army. She has also created an amazing series of videos that have drawn both ardent fans and, sadly, vicious opponents.

 

Ava’s latest video presents some of the hate-mail she has received from RWers over time. Viewers are warned that there is hate-speech, excessively foul language and other content unfit for children and those with delicate constitutions.

 

 

The Moral Values Party indeed. Those who threaten or wish harm upon others over a difference of opinion are truly depraved. But I expect nothing more from the party that resorts to bullying at every turn.

 

I commend Ava for continuing her quest to advance the cause of peace, encourage the youth of America to believe in themselves, and make the world safe for progressive causes. Ava is a true asset to America and the world.
