============================================


More than one thousand young Americans have died in Iraq, almost seven
thousand are maimed, and tens of thousands of Iraqis have died. The
President won't mourn our dead, but we will.

Please join United for Peace and Justice, in coordination with Win
Without War, and dozens of other groups, including Military Families Speak
Out and Veterans For Peace, to say: Enough to Endless War and
Suffering, Bring Them Home NOW!

TAKE ACTION: ORGANIZE A PEACE VIGIL THIS THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, 2004

Please help us organize peace vigils on Thursday night, to mourn for
all the people who've been killed in Iraq, call for an end to the
occupation, and demand accountability for the lies that got us into the war!
We know this is extremely short notice, but it is urgent that we stand
together publicly to mark this grim milestone.

We will remember the more than 1,000 US servicemen and women who have
died in Iraq. We will remember the many thousands of Iraqis--civilians
and combatants, men and
women, children the elderly--who have been killed. And we will remember
that these deaths did not have to happen.

We know that the current administration has plunged us into this unjust
and unjustifiable war, driven by greed for oil and lust for power and
fueled by lie after lie. We cannot remain silent!

We demand an end to the occupation so the Iraqi people can determine
their own destiny free from foreign interference
and control.

We want our troops brought home NOW. Don't ask these men and women to
continue to die for politicians' mistakes and lies. And we want them
treated right when they return. Give them the benefits there were promised
and give them the help they will need to heal their bodies, their minds
and their spirits.

We will remember, honor and mourn. We will not forget!

We suggest you hold the Sept. 9 vigil at your local Congressional
representatives' offices or at the federal building in your town.

Post your event at http://www.unitedforpeace.org so the media and the
world will know about your participation.

We also encourage you to support and participate in the National
Memorial Procession, a trail of mourning and truth from Iraq to the White
House, which will begin on October 2 at Arlington National Cemetery. For
