DESCRIPTION:Attend a Townhall Meeting or Vigil and Tell\nCongress to Take A Stand and 
 End the War\n\nWe need to make sure our representatives head back to 
 Washington with their constituents' demands for a speedy \nwithdrawal at 
 the forefront of their minds. That's why we're helping to organize "Take A 
 Stand" townhall meetings and "Stand Up In September" vigils on August 28th 
 -- \n\nNational Take A Stand Day.\n\n\nDuring the August congressional 
 recess, Working Assets is working to turn up the heat on pro-war members of 
 Congress while they are in their home districts. In partnership with our 
 friends at the Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI) coalition -- 
 including MoveOn, True Majority, and USAction -- our members across the 
 country are displaying yard signs that say "Support The Troops * End The 
 War," and they have been bird-dogging these pro-war congressmembers 
 wherever they go.\n\nIn the beginning of September, Congress will return to 
 Washington, DC and resume the Iraq debate. We want to send them a strong 
 message before they go: bring the troops home from Iraq NOW.\n\nNext week, 
 Working Assets and our coalition partners will be organizing townhall 
 meetings and thousands of vigils across the country to send this message. 
 As our representatives and senators return to DC, we want to make sure that 
 they remember one thing -- their constituents are counting on them to end 
 the war.\n\nAttend a townhall meeting or a vigil and tell Congress to take 
 a stand against the occupation of Iraq.\n\nSeptember could be a critical 
 turning point. The White House will issue its report on whether the "surge" 
 is working, and then Congress will vote on war policy for the next year. 
 The Bush administration will try to use the September report to convince 
 Congress to drag out the war, so it's critical that we turn out in force to 
 show Congress that Americans want them to end this war now.\n\nTownhall 
 meetings have been scheduled in the districts of pro-war congressmembers 
 who are targets of AAEI's "Iraq Summer" campaign. Vigils will be taking 
 place cross the country. If there is no townhall meeting or vigil already 
 scheduled in your area, you can easily host a vigil yourself by clicking on 
 the "host your own event" link on the signup page.\n\nPlease invite 
 everyone you know who wants to bring our troops home to attend a townhall 
 meeting or vigil on August 28th!\n\nThank you for working to build a better 
 world.\n\nNicole Batdorf,\nField Organizer\nWorking Assets \n\nFind a
