Colleen McLaughlin: Member of Military Families Speak Out, an international organization calling for their relatives on active duty in Iraq be brought home now, and an end of the occupation. Colleen's son is currently stationed in Iraq. Gerard Colby: Steering Committee member of U.S. Labor Against the War; President, National Writers' Union; President, Champlain Valley Labor Council. Hard-hitting investigative journalist and author or co-author of several major books, including "Du Pont: behind the nylon curtain," and "Thy Will Be Done: the conquest of the Amazon : Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the age of oil."
