War foes mark 1st anniversary of weekly protests in Teaneck

[cal04]

Sen. Robert Menendez joined protesters outside the Teaneck Armory calling for an end to the Iraq war on Wednesday.

"I believe that this was a war of choice versus a war of necessity," Menendez told about 75 demonstrators gathered along Teaneck Road near the Bergenfield border. "This war is not in the national security interest of the United States."

The event marked the one-year anniversary of the weekly protest by the Teaneck Peace and Justice Coalition and Military Families Speak Out.

Paula Rogovin, a member of both organizations and a founder of the protest, said she was heartened by Menendez's visit.
