Out of Iraq action days

I just found out about "Out of Iraq" action days on the Progressive Democrats of America site. It's probably too late to join one of the January 7 events if you haven't done so already, but of course we'd love a first hand report from anyone who actually did attend one. Here are the details from PDA:

On Saturday January 7th, Progressive Democrats of America, along with many other organizations affiliated with After Downing Street, will hold Out Of Iraq events in more than 130 cities across the country. Most of the events are town hall forums, and several will feature members of Congress, including Bobby Scott, Diane Watson, Jim McDermott, Adam Smith, Bob Filner, Martin Sabo, Jim Moran, Marty Meehan, and John Murtha. Several other events will feature congressional staff, congressional and senatorial candidates, local elected officials, and leaders of the peace movement, including Gold Star Families for Peace founder and PDA National Board Member Cindy Sheehan, and After Downing Street Co-Founder and PDA National Board Member John Bonifaz.

But the second day of action is Monday, January 9, so there's still time to spread the word.

On Monday January 9th, PDA and other organizations are pushing a National Call-In Day to support Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and his call for the immediate censure of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. "This administration must be held accountable for its misdeeds," says Rep. Conyers. "I am taking steps against the Bush Administration's handling of the Iraq War and its collection of intelligence. I am going to need you to stand with me in fighting for accountability. Join me to demand censure for Bush and Cheney in addition to the creation of a Special Committee to investigate impeaching the Bush Administration for its widespread abuses of power."
