Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. --Dwight D. Eisenhower _____________________________________________________
"We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with war. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life." ~A.J.Muste _____________________________________________________
GlynnPeace: Citizens To End the War In Iraq is a local group in Glynn County, Georgia, which has formed to help end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. See contact info at top of this page. To read the press release announcing our formation click here.
NOTICE:
GLYNNPEACE was put on "laid down" status at our December 2008 meeting. This means we are currently not having regular meetings nor making plans for events and activities.
We do still have the GlynnPeace member list and send occasional e-mails about events of interest sponsored by other groups, such as the Georgia Peace & Justice Coalition or United For Peace & Justice.
We would welcome anyone who would like to take on coordination responsibility for GlynnPeace or begin some other peace action in Glynn County to do so. GlynnPeace organizers would assist you as best we can. Contact us via info at the top of this column.
On May 4, 2006, GlynnPeace adopted the following resolution. We encourage other groups and organizations to adopt it -- or something similar -- as well. (The number of U.S. military dead has been updated to October 12, 2008*.) RESOLUTION TO WITHDRAW U.S. TROOPS FROM IRAQ WHEREAS the United States' pre-emptive war is a violation of international law causing a loss of respect and moral leadership for the United States, and WHEREAS the United States' occupation has caused the deaths of more than 4,181* U.S. troops (including 135 Georgians) and tens of thousands of Iraqis, and WHEREAS the United States' occupation is hindering the war on terrorism and providing incentives for recruitment of terrorists, and WHEREAS the United States' occupation makes it more difficult for Iraq to determine its own future, WHEREAS the cost of the United States' occupation increases the national debt and eliminates health, education, and other needed programs at home, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: the time has come to end the United States' occupation of Iraq and bring our troops home.
