DESCRIPTION:Dear Supporters of Peace in the Middle East:\n\nPlease join us this 
 Saturday, January 13th, from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm, at 16th & Broadway, for 
 Sacramento's first major peace demonstration of 2007: an EMERGENCY PROTEST 
 OF BUSH’S PLAN TO ESCALATE THE IRAQ WAR!  \n\nAs unbelievable as it 
 sounds, when violence in the Middle East is worse than ever, and after the 
 vast majority American voters sent a clear signal in the last elections 
 that they want the U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush 
 administration, the Senate and Congress are still seriously debating about 
 whether to ESCALATE things in Iraq! \n\nThe Bush administration is not only 
 planning to continue "staying the course": they're talking about increasing 
 the momentum of that course with at least 20,000 more troops and billions 
 of additional tax dollars to fund the continued, systematic destruction of 
 Iraq.  \n\nThe Bush administration is also improperly meddling in the 
 political affairs of the Palestinians.  Bush has agreed to send $90 million 
 in U.S. tax dollars for arms shipments to the Palestinian militia, Fatah, 
 to help them overthrow the fairly and democratically elected Hamas 
 political party.  Bush's funding of Fatah is setting the stage for yet 
 another civil war.\n\nBecause this is such a critical period of national 
 policy reformulation, we need to make strong public statements about the 
 positions we expect our representatives to take.  Therefore, please come 
 out this Saturday, and bring compelling signs and displays telling our 
 representatives that we want the U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan, that we 
 oppose any additional funding of the U.S. military presence in Iraq or any 
 funding of the Fatah militia.\n\nIssues to support include:\n\nU.S. Out of 
 Iraq now!\nImpeachment is on the table!\nNo more funding of U.S. military 
 in Iraq!\nNo funding of Abbas or Fatah!\nNo arms to Israel!\nLeave Iran 
 alone!\n\n**EVEN IF YOU SUPPORT ONLY SOME OF THESE CAUSES, PLEASE JOIN 
 US!**     \n\nThank you.  We look forward to seeing you.\n\nNote: Please 
 use on-street parking (which is free) instead of Tower Records/Cafe/Theater 
 customer lots.  \n
