While President Obama has been wrestling with the request for a troop surge in Afghanistan, activists from the Tri-Town Peace Groups (Newton Dialogues on Peace and War, Watertown Citizens for Environmental Safety, and Waltham Concerned Citizens) have decided to call for a "surge" - in anti-war activity.
In answer to that call, to do our part as Americans, to support the troops, and to back up our nation's true leaders, we are asking the the people of Newton, Watertown, and Waltham to help kick off the surge by marching from Watertown Square to Waltham Common on Saturday, November 7th.
The March will begin at 12 Noon from Watertown Square and proceed along the March route (about 3 miles) to Waltham Common, taking a little over an hour. A room at First Parish Church in Waltham (http://www.walthamuu.org/directions.html ) has been rented so there will be a warm and dry place to go to for a post-March pizza lunch.
Transportation will be provided to anyone who needs to get back to Watertown Square either after the march or after lunch. Contact Gene Burkart (EJB267@aol.com, 781-899-6230) if you plan to attend and/or will need a ride back to Watertown Square.
