BILLINGS - Two different organizations got together Saturday to illicit honks and shouts in support and opposition on Grand Avenue Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. They were calling for the immediate end to the war in Iraq.
The people we talked to feel very strongly that the country is heading in a bad direction due to our current foreign policy and occupation of Iraq. They want to raise awareness in the community and prompt people to voice their concern about the war.
One protester, Jeff Meide of the Progressive Democrats of America, says "The threat of a third world war is on the horizon and it's time now for people to get off their couches and take a stand, raise their voice and do something to end the madness". The other group protesting was United for Peace and Justice.
