Winter Soldier: Iraq Veterans Against the War

I am taking a moment away from obsessing about art to announce the following:

WINTER SOLDIER

Did you all know that on the 13th-16th of this month, an historic event happened in Washington DC called Winter Soldier, in which hundreds of Iraq War veterans testified about the horrible conditions of their lives as soldiers, and the horrible crimes they are being forced to participate in overseas? Probably not, because they media didn't report it. Iraq Veterans against the war organized the event, which resulted in many active soldiers in Iraq sending emails immediately wanting to join the movement to end the war.

Read about the event here.

This is big, and its big that the media won't touch it. Regardless of your feelings for or against the troops being in Iraq now, the media should have reported this significant event. Lets all take a moment away from our crafting and write some letters to the editors!
