DESCRIPTION:Light up the Crosses of Lafayette Vigil\nThurs Jan 11 6pm\noppose 
 President's call for military escalation in Iraq\n\n\nTonight the president 
 announced a policy of escalation in Iraq. We have to stop it, and the 24 
 hours after his speech are going to be critical in framing the debate. 
 Congress and the press need to know that there's widespread opposition to 
 this reckless plan.\nMoveOn members have already organized hundreds of 
 Emergency Rallies to Stop Escalation in Iraq for tomorrow night. We really 
 need to have a strong turnout at these rallies so the message is heard loud 
 and clear: Escalation is the wrong answer. Can you attend a rally near you 
 in Lafayette tomorrow?\n\nHere are the details:\n\nLight up the Crosses of 
 Lafayette\nacross Deer Hill Rd from Lafayette BART (in 
 Lafayette)\nThursday, Jan 11 2007, 6:00 PM\nhttp://pol.moveon. org/event/

 Escalation in Iraq planned to show widespread opposition to the president's 
 plan. Can you join us at one in Lafayette tomorrow?\n\nJoin us at a 
 rally\n\nWe will be setting up the candles in red plastic cups at each 
 cross from 2pm and will start lighting candles at 5pm. If you can climb a 
 hillside without trouble and if you can come early and help, that would be 
 appreciated. Bring your own candle for the vigil at the bottom of the hill. 
 Over 80 people have signed up to participate already. Ignore the max of 100 
 participants, there is room for thousands.\n\n\n\n\nIf this event doesn't

 on our side—263,200 of us have signed the petition and we've made 8,100 
 calls to Congress opposing escalation and this is just the beginning. The 
 next step is to take our message to the public square with these rallies. 
 All you have to do is show up to the event closest to you—the host will 
 have signs and leaflets to pass out.\nStopping escalation is an important 
 part of a strategy to getting out of Iraq. "Stay the Course" was rejected 
 by the voters. If escalation is repudiated that leaves only one option: a 
 responsible exit.\nWe're going to take our message to the doorsteps of 
 congressional offices across the country. We really need you with us. Click 
 below to sign up.\nhttp://www.moveon. org/r?r=2307& search_zip= 94565&id=

 do.\n–Tom, Nita, Matt, Karin and the MoveOn.org Political Action
