Thousands rally in Minneapolis: Familes, students, dogs and -- penguins (photo journal)

Five thousand rallied and marched earlier today in Minneapolis. These photos were all taken today at that rally.

What were they doing?  Five thousand were agitating for peace.

I counted five pro-war/Bush supporters.

By now, nearly everyone realizes the president’s pants are on fire.

And those lies have led to many deaths.

The number of US dead is rising everyday.

And when the number of injured is included, it’s much higher.

As the NY Times reported today, families of the soldiers are suffering

and by some reports, as many as 400,000 Iraqis have died.

Money spent on the war cannot be used for healthcare.

And imagine how much college tuition that money would support.

We are saying no to US terrorism

The conflict in Iraq is not a war, but a result of an occupation.

US legislators should listen. Americans overwhelmingly want peace

Bring the troops home

How many ways do we have to say it

We have taken to the streets. We have voted.

No more shock and awe diplomacy

It’s time to think. End this mistake now.
