Click to put this button on your site Donate! Funds are still urgently needed to help pay the huge costs for the March on the Pentagon. This movement is not funded by corporations or foundations. It is has succeeded solely because of the individual commitment and sacrifice of those who are willing to fight for the Constitution and demand that Bush, Cheney and other high officials be held accountable for their criminal acts.

We won! More than 2,000 people deluged the office of Virginia's Attorney General with letters demanding the issuance of a permit for the March on the Pentagon. Impeachment supporters joined with the anti-war movement to insist that the State of Virginia drop its efforts to obstruct the rights of tens of thousands of marchers who will gather on March 17 to demand an end to the Iraq war and in support of the impeachment of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

We want to thank everyone who has responded to our emergency fundraising appeal by making a generous donation. The government, by delaying the issuance of permits, has driven up our costs, but with the support of thousands of people who believe in this movement, we will succeed. We're not there yet, but with the continued help of everyone, we can do it. Click this link if you'd like to make an urgently needed donation today.

This will be a large and powerful demonstration. People are coming from 43 states by bus, train, car caravan and plane.

This could not have happened without everyone's participation. This combined political and legal challenge, waged with the assistance of the Partnership for Civil Justice, made all the difference. Legal and security issues have been dealt with to ensure a safe and secure march for the participation of the whole family. Click to see more logistical information for the March on the Pentagon.
