Attention Iowa folks. We can use all the local support and presence that we can get during these last days of the SODaPOP campaign. If you are coming from out of town and need housing there is floor space available at the Catholic Worker.

Group bringing message of nonviolence to candidates
Every candidate for president received a letter in October asking them to sign a pledge to end the Iraq war, rebuild Iraq and foreswear military attacks on other countries, namely Iran.
The letter also said that if the pledge was not signed and returned, a group called Voices for Creative Nonviolence would deliver another copy to their campaign offices in Iowa and wait there until they got a positive response.
Sen. Hillary Clinton and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani understand what that means, as a group of activists “occupied” their offices in early November.
Now the group has put out the call to activists all over the country to come to Des Moines for the caucuses and help send a message to the candidates: the American people want this war to end.
