During the week of June 18th community groups will bring two retired Generals to Manchester and Keene for town hall meetings on New Hampshire’s role in securing a responsible exit strategy from Iraq. We are excited to host retired Generals Robert Gard and John Johns along with former Congressman Tom Andrews to engage in a lively conversation with New Hampshire citizens on the best course for ending this war. Along with the town hall meetings, we are circulating a letter to the entire Congressional delegation calling on them to show leadership in drafting an exit strategy from Iraq. You can sign on to the letter at nh.standupcongress.org.


We hope that you will be able to join us at one of the town hall meetings. This will be an incredible opportunity to have a conversation with military experts who can offer unique insight on the current situation in Iraq. The town hall meeting will be held in Manchester on June 21st at 6:30pm. The event will be hosted at the main branch of the Manchester City Library 405 Pine Street. On Friday, June 22nd, the second town hall meeting will be held at the Keene Unitarian Universalist Church 69 Washington Street at 6:30pm. You may print flyers for the events at nh.standupcongress.org. For more information, you may email Melissa Byrne at mbyrne AT winwithoutwarus.org.

The cosponsors for the event include: Win Without War, AAEI, AFSC-NH, Council for a Livable World, NH Citizens Alliance, NH Peace Action, Priorities NH, UCC Social Action Council, and the UUSC Civil Liberties Program.
