Boston, MA and Jonesborough, TN - Oct 27 Fall Out Against The War

By: How2CreatePeace Tags:

Oct 27, 2007 - Boston, MA and Jonesborough, TN - Fall Out Against The War. United for Peace and Justice anti-war peace march. State troopers and local police in TN, and openness in MA. Quite a contrast between the two locations, but we are all one in this fight to END THE WAR and IMPEACH BUSH. There was additionally a protest against Depleted Uranium production at Aerojet in Jonesborough. There is yellow police crime scene tape all around the outside of Aerojet's property. We agree! AEROJET IS A CRIME SCENE!
