\"uscapitolwestfront1.jpg\"<\/a>Join the national Call-In for Peace. A diverse coalition of Peace & Justice groups are coordinating a unified phone campaign to get Congress to reject additional Iraq war funding – the Bush supplemental appropriations request for $93 billion more.

\n1- 888-851-1879
\n
\nWith the Democratic leadership signaling weakness and half-hearted amendments aimed at undermining the surge but not the war, our coalition is phoning in a loud and clear message:
\nNO MORE FUNDING FOR WAR. VOTE NO ON THE SUPPLEMENTAL.
\nBRING OUR TROOPS HOME. . .AND OUT OF IRAQ’S CIVIL WAR.<\/p>\n

When you call your Senate and Congressional offices, politely tell them one or two of the following points:<\/p>\n

~ Most Iraqis “\u201c both Sunni and Shia — want US troops out of their country and most believe attacks on our troops are justified.<\/p>\n

~ US military force is no solution in Iraq “\u201c especially given the tainted rationales for invading Iraq, cultural gaps, Abu Ghraib, etc. Diplomacy, not war, is the solution.<\/p>\n

~ The American people at the polls in November and in opinion polls have expressed their view that the US needs to get out. Four years is enough!<\/p>\n

~ With its Constitutionally-granted “power of the purse,”\u009d Congress has the duty to end the war by cutting off war funding, except what’s needed for the prompt, safe, orderly withdrawal of all our troops.<\/p>\n

~ And please mention to your Congressperson(s) that Impeachment is Justice, and Justice should NEVER be off the table – Impeach Bush and Cheney.<\/p>\n

Each day from March 5 through March 13, different national groups in our alliance will spark phone calls to Congress. Instead of just one day of calls, we’ll keep pressure on Congress for over a week leading up to the Iraq Supplemental vote. Thanks to our toll-free number (connected directly to the Capitol Hill switchboard), we’ll track how many calls we can generate when we all work together.<\/p>\n

ImpeachforPeace.org members and supporters can call any of the following days or ALL of the following days. Call early, call often:<\/p>\n

Mon., March 5 – Voters for Peace
\nTues., March 6 – PDA, AfterDowningStreet, US Labor Against the War
\nWed., March 7 – CodePink, Global Exchange
\nThurs., March 8 – GSFP
\nFri., March 9 – Peace Action
\nMon., March 12 – UFPJ
\nTues., March 13 – All together now!<\/p>\n

Join with all of these wonderful groups and call Congress: 1- 888-851-1879 for Peace and for Justice through Impeachment.<\/p>\n
