Dear Senator Barack Obama,
I was there for your speech last night at Mile High Stadium. I drove to Denver with my mother and a family friend on last minutes notice. We were able to secure credentials for not only your speech but Hillary Clintons and Joe Bidens as well. Every speech was great but nothing has ever moved me like you did in Mile High Stadium.
I’m an independant voter and hold a degree from San Diego State University in Political Science. In my last year of school and after 7 years of Bush policies with Democratic backing and funding I lost faith in politics. I found the more I learned of politics the more it seemed to be a giant ‘dog and pony show’ where the ones who were left to clean up were the hard working American middle class.
You changed that. With your speech in Iowa I felt that there may actually be good, just, and caring people in Washington. I joined your campaign. I made calls. I attended meetings. And I engaged everyone I know to join and support you.... (cont.)Dear Senator Barack Obama,

DENVER - A column of people three blocks long, led by members of the Iraq Veterans Against the War, streamed from the Denver Coliseum on Wednesday in an anti-war protest march to the Pepsi Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being staged.
The protest march began after a reunited Rage Against the Machine ended a concert that drew an estimated 9,000 people to the coliseum. The thousands of protesters were ordered to disperse, and they complied, NBC affiliate KUSA of Denver reported.
As the concert let out at the Denver Coliseum at 3 p.m., the unauthorized march embarked toward the convention site.
About 50 veterans dressed in uniform, who did not have an official permit for the parade, were leading the peaceful protest, which reached the Pepsi Center at 6:15 p.m.
"We are the veterans! The Iraq War veterans! The anti-war veterans!" they chanted.
"We are soldiers! Anti-war soldiers!"
Guards locked the gates to the Pepsi Center and walked away. About 20 war veterans and 1,000 or more protestors remained at the gates. They said they wanted to be arrested and were waiting there peacefully between concrete barriers and the fences.
At 6:45 p.m., police gave the first official order for the group to disperse. Once the order was given, the crowd parted to allow the war veterans space to leave.
After the veterans had gone, the 500 to 600 people who remained at the gates turned and followed the veterans back out onto Speer Boulevard, heading toward downtown, KUSA reported.
NBC News' Tom Costello reported that 3,000 to 5,000 protesters participated.
While the protest was peaceful, Costello said police assumed a "riot position," holding batons and standing shoulder to shoulder, as the demonstrators approached the Pepsi Center, where a sit-in was planned.
Police erected a cherry picker and put officers above the crowds to get a better idea of how many protesters there were, Costello reported, and a police helicopter circled overhead.
Letter sent to Obama
Iraq Veterans Against the War wants Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to agree to an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. They also want full health care benefits for returning troops and veterans, and reparations to the Iraqi people for damage caused by the war.
The group sent a letter to Obama on Monday.
Dozens of veterans, some in uniform, began the march in formation, chanting "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon." It is about 4 miles from the coliseum to the Pepsi Center.
People on motorcycles and bicycles joined those on foot. Some people held signs that said "US out of Iraq" with red handprints and "No War on Iran." A few had the numbers of lawyers written on their bodies in case they were arrested.
Behind the veterans, protesters yelled: "Troops out now!"
Jan Critchfield, 24, of Seattle said he served in Iraq in 2004, and after returning home, came to believe that the war was an "unlawful, immoral occupation.
"
He said now that he's back in the U.S., he thinks about what it's like for Iraqis living with U.S. forces in their country.
"I just can't imagine driving through my neighborhood at home and seeing a security checkpoint.
"
Critchfield said he joined the Army at 17 without much thought about the implications.

After a set at Lollapalooza that almost instigated a mass riot, Rage Against the Machine announced they would play a show in Minneapolis on Sept. 3, during a week in which the city hosts the Republican National Convention.
Now the band has announced a show at the "Tent State Music Festival To End the War," taking place Aug. 27, in Denver, during the Democratic National Convention.
"Sponsored by anti-war groups Tent State University and Iraq Veterans Against the War, the Tent State Music Festival to End the War takes place at the Denver Coliseum on August 27. In addition to Rage Against the Machine, the lineup includes the Coup, Jello Biafra, Flobots, and Wayne Kramer of MC5.
Let us just take this opportunity to say it's a good thing Rage are protesting during both conventions, because limiting their condemnation to Republicans only would just be hypocritical. You know, hypocritical like making bank off of music that preaches anti-capitalist revolution to suburban teenagers."
