MILITARY FAMILIES LOBBY PARLIAMENT
Tony Blair has refused to meet the families of those killed in Iraq. He has
not visited the many hundreds of soldiers wounded in his war nor attended
any of the funerals of those killed.

The families are demanding a meeting with Tony Blair because they need an
accounting for the reasons the country was taken to war and the reasons why
they have suffered so much.

On Wednesday April 26 the military families are organising a lobby of MPs in
parliament. Following the lobby they will be laying a wreath at the Cenotaph
and delivering a petition to Downing Street. They are calling on other
families and servicemen and women to join then to make clear to Tony Blair
that he cannot continue to ignore them.

The open letter the families have written to Tony Blair can be downloaded
from here:

The petition demanding that Tony Blair meet the bereaved families can be
signed here:

and downloaded for collecting signatures here:

The families are asking every anti war group and peace activist to contact
military veterans they know or anyone they know with family in the services,
and encourage them to join the lobby of parliament in London on the 26
April. Please circulate this call as widely as possible. Stop the War
Coalition will of course fund expenses for the military families attending
the lobby.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.

Ah yes, how true
