One Protest Off, Another One On
Filed Saturday, December 1, 2007 at 12:00 PM
The Clinton campaign may have dodged an embarrassing protest by a group opposed to one her biggest local supporters, Mayor Francis Slay, but the New York senator’s support for the Iraq War is bringing out another group of protesters — and they’ll be wearing pink!
The women’s anti-war group, CodePink, is targeting Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton not just for her votes in favor of the war in Iraq, but also for not ruling out a possible preemptive strike on Iran.
“As Clinton travels throughout the country, CodePink, a national women’s peace organization, has focused on educating the public about Clinton’s war profiteering,” states the group’s press release.
“Hillary Clinton has received more money from employees of the top five U.S. arms manufactures than any other Presidential candidate, including leading Republicans,” the release goes on to say.
“She has voted to authorize Bush’s war on Iraq and she voted against legislation to ban the sale of cluster bombs for use in civilian areas. Clinton has also supported controversial legislation that would not rule out attacking Iran,” charges CodePink.
Clinton’s event at The Pageant is Sunday at 6:00 PM. Learn more at www.HillaryClinton.com/StLouis.
