war resisters

Speaking of veterans, I just received an e-mail about Courage to Resist, a group working to support troops who refuse to fight. They are asking people to sign on to a letter asking Canadian government officials to allow resisters to stay there.

Visit www.couragetoresist.org/canada to send a letter.

This is the second annual gathering to celebrate war resisters in the greater Nelson area of British Columbia, Canada. Nelson is nicknamed Resisterville because of its role of welcoming Vietnam Era deserters, joined more recently by Iraq war veterans fleeing the United States for refugee asylum in Canada rather than return for additional tours of duty in Iraq.
