Military Coalition Organizes Shutdown Rally

33 groups organize for Tuesday event

The National World War II Memorial, the center of many protests since the partial government shutdown on Oct. 1, will be the backdrop of yet another rally on Tuesday aimed at embarrassing Congress and the White House into action.

The Military Coalition, a group of 33 military and veterans' organizations sharing a common agenda, plans to hold a rally and news conference calling on Congress and the White House to reach a compromise on the government shutdown and national debt limit.

"The shutdown has been devastating for the nation's military readiness and for the veterans, service members, families and survivors in the uniformed services community," says a Coalition announcement.
