Congressman Marty Meehan (Democrat, MA 5th District) will speak at First Parish in Bedford, MA (On the Common) on Sunday, June 5th at 12:30 p.m. He'll speak for 10-15 minutes, then Q&A. Meehan comes to us at the encouragement of Bedford's Brian Hart who, since the death of his son John in Iraq, has made truth-telling his lifework. Meehan and Hart have made common cause in exposing unwelcome truths about the war and dissenting from both pro and anti-war orthodoxies. After recently visiting Iraq, Meehan has prepared a draft White Paper that outlines an exit strategy, including a withdrawal of most American troops within 12-18 months.
