Andrea Dupree	Lighthouse Writers Workshop
Carolyn Eisenberg	Hofstra University; Steering Committee of Historians Against the War (HAW). As historians, teachers, and scholars, we oppose the expansion of United States empire and the doctrine of pre-emptive war that have led to the occupation of Iraq. We deplore the secrecy, deception, and distortion of history involved in the administration's conduct of a war that violates international law, intensifies attacks on civil liberties, and reaches toward domination of the Middle East and its resourceswe are also deeply concerned about the assault on civil liberties and the prospect of a widening war in the Middle East. In Iraq as in Vietnam, the defeat of the U.S. is inevitable –something that was/is widely recognized in both cases. And yet the fight continues, consuming the lives of our own soldiers and the people of Iraq.
Eddie Eitches	President, AFGE Local 476
Daniel Ellsberg	Writer, Military Analyst; In a speech March 30, 2008 in San Francisco's UU church, Ellsberg observed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn't really have the power to declare that "Impeachment is off the table". Congress' oath of office requires them to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". He also observes that under the US Constitution, Treaties, including the United Nations Charter, become the supreme law of the land that neither the States, the President, nor the Congress have the power to break. For example, if Congress votes to authorize an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation, that wouldn't make it legal. Such a President could stand trial at the International Criminal Court for war crimes, and it is Congress' duty to impeach them regardless what agreements they may have made in the past.

Mickey Flacks	Housing Advocate; Mickey remembered once having to yank Dick from an interminable SDS meeting to get to the stadium on time. No one could believe where they were going. Football before global liberation?
Richard Flacks	Santa Barbara County Action Network; When Flacks was appointed to a tenure-track professorship in UCSB’s sociology department in 1969, he’d already achieved notoriety at the University of Chicago as a radical anti-war activist. Ronald Reagan, then the governor of California, quipped that hiring Flacks was like hiring a pyromaniac to work in a firecracker factory. His parents David and Mildred Flacks — both school teachers — were born to Russian Jewish immigrants. Both were active union members and organizers; both belonged to the Communist Party. In 1962, Flacks, TomHayden, and about 60 SDS activists gathered in Port Huron, Michigan, to pen what would become the rhetorical anthem for the New Left.

He helped organize the first national demonstration against the Vietnam War, held in Washington, D. C., on April 26, 1965. “My generation of the New Left — a generation that grew as the [Vietnam] war went on — relinquished any title to patriotism without much sense of loss. All that was left to the Left was to unearth righteous traditions and cultivate them in universities. The much-mocked political correctness of the next academic generations was a consolation prize. We lost — we squandered the politics — but won the textbooks”

Daniel Cantor	New Party; Marxist political coalition ; Was active from 1992-1998; Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996. Co-founded in 1992 by union activist Sandy Pope , Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials -- most often Democrats. The New Party’s short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party. Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party’s Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members. In 1997 the New Party's influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment's freedom of association clause. Daniel Canto and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York. USA Today reported on November 16, 1992. The paper wrote that the new party was “self-described [as] ‘socialist democratic.’”
