Kennebunkport, Maine -- The Kennebunks Peace Department, the organizer of the last several massive anti-war marches in Kennebunkport, is planning a protest march on Saturday, August 2nd to Walker's Point where President Bush will be visiting his family at their compound.

The permitted march will include guest of honor, Carlos Arredondo, who lost his son in Iraq on August 25th four years ago. Carlos travels around the country in his truck which has been made into a memorial to his son Alex. Also attending will be members of CODE PINK, Maine Peace Action, Seacoast Peace Response, several Veterans for Peace chapters, the AFL-CIO, and many other peace and justice organizations and concerned citizens from Northern New England.

The march will commence from the Consolidated School on School Street in Kennebunkport at 1:00 PM and will travel up Ocean Avenue for two miles to Walker's Point with the message: HANDS OFF IRAN! OUT OF IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN NOW!

"President Bush is turning the screws on Iran, ramping up pressure in the form of economically damaging sanctions -- which is the same weapon used to cripple Iraq before the invasion in 2003. The American people are against striking Iran, which would destabilize the entire Middle East and cause much suffering," said Jamilla El-Shafei. "President Bush is a war criminal and is certainly NOT welcome here in Maine, a sentiment which most of the civilized world shares."

Jamilla El-Shafei, is the organizer for The Kennebunks Peace Department and is a Steering Committee member of The National Assembly, a coalition consisting of hundreds of peace and justice organizations from all over the country. She organized a national protest on Capitol Hill in Washington,DC in March called Stop-Loss Congress and organized the last three mass protests in Kennebunkport, Maine.
