The Drive-out begins...

Margaret Mead advised us: "Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." On New Year's Day, our family decided to take a small step toward change.
We invite you to send this announcement to your friends, and if you can join us in our commitment, add your name to the list below. Please check out our blog (DriveOutWar.blogspot.com) and feel free to share your experience in our attempt to "Drive out the War."

Thank you for your time.

Drive out the War


Saturday, February 3, All Day


To Support the Troops

Bring Them Home


On the first Saturday in February my family will be participating

in a “No Driving” day.


We hope that you, your family, your friends, their families, etc.,

will join us and will spread the word to others.


People may participate for any number of reasons, but most

important to our family are:



(1) The soldiers fighting in Iraq, and their families, are making huge sacrifices in our names. By making a small sacrifice, we try to keep their suffering in mind for at least one day.


(2) Not driving addresses the role oil plays in this war.


(We are asking for only one day from you, but for as long as U.S.- caused deaths in Iraq continue we intend to “Drive-out” on the

first Saturday of each month. Please join us.)
