Protesting Sen. Barbara Mikulski’s Pro-War With Syria Stance

On Saturday afternoon, September 14th, peace activists staged a protest action at Broadway & Baltimore Streets, in the Fell’s Point area of Bmore. It was directed at U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat. Despite openly conceding that the majority of Marylanders are against any U.S. intervention in Syria’s bloody Civil War, she declared that she will vote for military strikes against Assad’s government. Meanwhile, the U.S. is currently arming the opposition in that lethal conflict, which includes factions loyal to al-Qadeda. Go figure! Mikulski’s pro-War antics, of course, please the Military-Industrial Complex and the pro-war zealots in the U.S. media. After assembling, the activists, with their antiwar banners and posters flying, marched down Broadway to Thames Street, to pay a visit to one of Mikulski’s branch offices. It turned out that no one in her office showed up for work today. To learn more about this controversy, go to: https://www.facebook.com/bmoresyrianointervention

A rally/march was held in Fell’s Point, in Bmore, on September 14th. Peace and social justice activists expressed their views opposing any U.S. intervention in Syria. Their focus however was specifically on the U.S. senator from Maryland - Barbara Mikulski. She has an office in the area. Recently, the Senator made in clear that she will vote for military strikes in Syria, despite the overwhelming opposition to any such war by her constituents. Speaking on this video in strong disapproval to Mikulski’s bellicose intentions are Dr. Margaret Flowers, Kevin Zeese, Bill Harvey and Max Obuszewski.
