"Tonight I must make it plain and clear that as a human being, as a citizen of the world, as a citizen of America, as a Member of Congress, as an individual committed to a world at peace with itself, I will not and I cannot in good conscience vote for another dollar or another dime to support this war."

Among its other reasons for being (see About Us), Antemedius is the new home and host of the Out Of Iraq Bloggers Caucus, or OOIBC - a coalition of bloggers opposed to the Iraq Occupation and the funding of it, and opposed to wars of imperialism and hegemony more generally, which began in early 2007 with the original OOIBC site that is now an archive site.

In the spring of 2007, as the battle over the Iraq War supplemental funding bill began to heat up, a group of bloggers started coming together to do what they could to help change the public mindset and move the Overton Window of political possibilities enough to bring an end to the Iraq Occupation and the hegemonic imperialism that leads to such debacles, and the result was The Out Of Iraq Bloggers Caucus, originally based on an idea by Big Tent Democrat at TalkLeft.

We've made it easy to join the Out of Iraq Bloggers Caucus – and after you are done, there is no maintenance involved.

You need to add an automatically updating, zero-maintenance blogroll to your blog so that you are linking to all the other OOIBC member blogs, while at the same time all of them will be linking to your blog, thus increasing awareness and traffic for for all OOIBC members.

As an OOIBC Contributing Author you'll also be able to post or cross-post all of your Iraq Occupation/War on Terror/Imperialism content here at Antemedius.

Folks, I don't think we can make it much easier than that for you. Your level of involvement is entirely up to you.

Thanks for helping us spread the word!

TO ADD THE AUTO-UPDATING OOIBC BLOGROLL TO YOUR BLOG:

1) Copy the embed code from the one of the boxes below and paste it into your blog sidebar where you want the OOIBC Blogroll to appear.

2) Send an email to admin@antemedius.com letting us know that you've installed the new OOIBC Blogroll on your site, so that we can add your site to the new blogroll.

You'll receive a reply to your email quickly with a welcome from us, normally by the end of the day.

You can also immediately create a user account here at Antemedius and post blog entries freely.

Antemedius admins may promote well written blog entries to the Antemedius front page and/or from time to time invite exceptional bloggers to become Antemedius front pagers.

The OOIBC Blogroll is designed so that it will display the blogroll on your site using your blog's font and link styles and colors.

OOIBC, the Blogroll, and Antemedius are all purely volunteer projects and are developed, managed and maintained by myself and require much time and effort. Although it is not a requirement for joining OOIBC, any donations large or small towards this effort that you can toss in the hat are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
