Lee and Penn Lead Oakland Anti-War Event
|
 OAKLAND, Calif. (KCBS) -- Hundreds of Iraq war protestors gathered in Oakland today for a town hall style meeting led by Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The activists then marched to City Hall for a rally, calling for an end to the conflict.
The events were held to mark the start of the fifth year of the war in Iraq. At the meeting Lee spoke about legislation to bring the troops home and the need to cut off funding. She was joined by actor Sean Penn, who read aloud a provocative letter he had written to President Bush.
