Anti-war forces confront McCain
Published Jul 24, 2008 11:31 PM
The largest, angriest anti-war crowd to turn out in Buffalo, N.Y., in
several years jammed the Art Gallery entrance where Republican presidential
candidate John McCain was holding a $10,000-a-plate fundraising dinner.
Shouting “We are the people of Buffalo!” “Bring the troops
home!” “End the war in Iraq, no attack on Iran!” “This
is a rich man’s war!” “Criminals!” demonstrators waved
“No war, no McSame” signs as McCain’s SUV squeezed by. A
broad coalition of peace, justice and antiwar groups sponsored the action,
which was organized by Buffalo Forum, Code Pink Buffalo, International Action
Center- Buffalo/WNY, UB Progressive Alliance, WNY Peace Center and Workers
World Party.
