Friends,

We all remember the day 4 years ago that bush stood on the naval ship
and declared that major combat operations were completed in Iraq. The
words we all remember are MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Since then
everything has gone downhill for everyone involved, especially for the
Iraqis.

Last year at this same time, we turned out 100 people to remind folks
of his statement. So this year it would be great to at least match
that number!

Following is the information for April 28, 2007:

What: Mission Unaccomplished Rally

When: April 28, 2007 from 11 AM-1 PM

Where: Peace Corner (corner of Bridge and River Sts) in Chippewa Falls
