On March 21, 26 peace groups (including Military Families Speak Out (http://www.mfso.org/)) will hold a Baghdad Bombing Peace Event, from 2:00 until 4:00 p.m. near Senator Arlen Specter's home on West Schoolhouse Lane (at Vaux Street) in Germantown. They want Specter to cut off funding for the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and to bring the troops home now.

On this date in 2003, the U.S. carried out a prolonged aerial bombardment of Baghdad, the capital of Iraq and the second largest city in the Muslim world (after Cairo, Egypt). People in the U.S. watched the bombing live on television. People in Baghdad watched the bombing live.

The demonstrators want Specter to endorse a bill which will cut off Pentagon funding in Afghanistan and Iraq except for the safe return of all U.S. troops. They also want the closure of all Pentagon bases there.

The Baghdad Bombing Peace Event has been endorsed by Brandywine Peace Community, Bryn Mawr Peace Coalition, Bucks for Progress, Catholic Peace Fellowship, Chester County Peace Movement, Code Pink Philadelphia, Communist Party of Eastern PA and DE, Delaware Valley Veterans for America, Granny Peace Brigade Philadelphia, Green Party of Delaware County, Green Party of Montgomery County, Green Party of Philadelphia, Main Line Peace Action, Military Families Speak Out, Northeast Philly for Peace and Justice, Northwest Greens, Peace Action of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Buddhist Peace Fellowship, Philadelphia Regional Anti-War Network (PRAWN), Philadelphia War Resisters League, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Saint Vincent's Peace and Justice Ministry, Suburban Philadelphia Greens, Turn Around America, Veterans for Peace, Chapter 31, and Women's International League for Peace & Freedom (Philadelphia Branch).
