Peace Action: Working for Peace Since 1957 FacebookTwitterBlogContact us

Dear All,
Last week, I wrote that our hill allies, Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA), Walter Jones (R-NC), and Barbara Lee (D-CA) introduced legislation to force a debate and a vote on a buildup of U.S. troops in Iraq.  This now amended legislation, H Con Res 105, would require a vote if the President wanted to send combat troops to Iraq.  The bill will be voted on tomorrow morning.
Call Now!  (202) 224-3121  Tell your Representative:
I am a constituent and I would like Representative __________ to vote for H Con Res 105 and to speak out against another Iraq War.
Your opposition to the Iraq War forced the Bush administration to lie and dupe the American public to allow the invasion.  Our opposition ended that war earlier than the Bush administration wanted, though at the cost of many American and Iraqi lives as well as trillions of tax payer dollars.  Don’t let the Obama Administration make the same mistake.
Dial (202) 224-3121 and tell your Representative:
I am a constituent and I would like Representative __________ to vote for H Con Res 105 and to speak out against another Iraq War.
The current situation in Iraq has grabbed the nation’s attention, and President Obama has already deployed around 750 American troops to Iraq in response to the crisis. While some of these troops were understandably sent to protect our embassy, hundreds were sent as 'advisers’ to the Iraqi security forces. The American public has been clear: the Iraq War was a mistake and we don't want to send our troops back into the middle of a civil war. As more and more Americans are sent into harms way in Iraq, Congress needs to hear from you. 
Pick up your phone!  (202) 224-3121  Tell your Representative:
I am a constituent and I would like Representative __________ to vote for H Con Res 105 and to speak out against another Iraq War.
This may be the only vote to thwart another war in Iraq.  Please take action now.
In Peace,
Kevin Martin
Peace Action
P.S.  We helped end the Iraq War and we don’t want the U.S. embroiled in another war there again.  Call Now!  (202) 224-3121  Tell Your Representative:
I am a constituent and I would like Representative __________ to vote for H Con Res 105 and to speak out against another Iraq War.
After calling, please forward this important email.
