Midwest Peace Marchers Arrive in Baltimore Maryland

Three Young Protesters on 1,700 mile trek to "Impeach the  President and
End the
 War" Arrive in Baltimore  on Monday, September 3

Three marchers who  have walked as far as 1,700 miles in their journey to
Washington,
D.C., to demand peace and impeachment, will arrive in Baltimore  on
Monday, September
3rd.  Mario Penlaver, Gordy Heuer  and Elliot Nesch arrived in Hagerstown 
this
past week, and are now walking along Route 144 on schedule to arrive in 
Baltimore
 on Monday. They will then march south on Route 1, with plans to spend
time in
Laurel, College  Park and in Washington,  DC on the Howard  University
Campus before
joining other protesters on Capitol Hill on  September 11.  They will be
speaking
at a public event at St.  John's of Baltimore  City Methodist Church on
Monday night.
A pot luck supper will begin at  6:00 P.M. The church is at 2640  St. Paul
St .,
 Baltimore, MD.  Admission is free, but  donations are welcome.

Mario Penalver, a  University  of Chicagostudent, is tired of waiting for
the politicians
to act to end the war.
With a deep belief in the American people, he started his march in
Chicagoin April.
Encountering some opposition in 'red' states, he says he
spoke to them as one midwesterner to another. "Our leaders tell us that
they are waiting for a convenient time to deal with our nation's
injustice," says Penalver.  "In reality that is the very reason why we
are not dealing with that injustice at all. We are held hostage by
waiting. Until we realize that injustice is a never-ending shackle of
'tomorrows,' this war in Iraq  and the military complex that supports it
will always
be with us."

Gordy Heuer of Pittsboro,  North Carolina,
heard of the march from his father, John Heuer. Watching his town
become devastated by a lack of social services and abundant
unemployment, Gordy decided he needed to take a stand against the cost
of the war at home. Gordy stated, "We are building bombs and war
machines instead of taking care of our own people."
Elliott Nesch,  founder of Beit Shalom Ministries, has walked the
furthest, starting
in Denver,  CO,
on March 1st, 2007. "As a man of faith, I set out on this 1,700 mile
journey to talk with other Christians." Not understanding how
Christians can support war, he is hoping to convince other ministers to
start teaching the words of Jesus and not condone the Bush
administrations words of war.
