A coalition of seven Iowa peace groups (List and contacts below) are planning, “A Vote With Your Feet” Anti-War Rally and Direct Action at the STARC Armory in Johnston IA on Nov 2nd - Election Day.

Among those who will be doing the direct action and risking arrest are area High School students.

The STARC Armory is the Headquarters for the Iowa National Guard. Dubbed the Iowa Pentagon Building, all Iowa Guard personnel who leave the state to fight in Iraq are Federalized through the STARC Armory.

From the presidential campaigns, it is clear that we cannot wait for politicians to act to end the illegal and immoral wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Regardless who wins the presidency, we will still be stuck in these god awful wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Neither candidate is leveling with us about these reckless military adventures and what needs to be done to make things right.” writes Frank Cordaro, one of the organizers of the Rally and Direct Action.
