Today! Call Congress: Not One Penny More for War!

by UFPJ
NOT ONE PENNY MORE FOR WAR!
National Call-In Day
TODAY: Tuesday, February 28, 2006
NOT ONE PENNY MORE FOR WAR!
National Call-In Day
TODAY: Tuesday, February 28, 2006
Call Congress toll-free: 888-355-3588

(If you have trouble with the 888 number, please try the direct number: 202-224-3121.)

President Bush has asked Congress for another $72 billion for his immoral war in
Iraq. Congress has the power to cut off the money for the war and bring the troops
safely home. Today, Tuesday, February 28, call them and say: "I strongly oppose the
war in Iraq. I want all our troops brought home safely, without delay. I urge
Representative (or Senator) X to vote against the President's $72.4 billion
'emergency' supplemental request for the war."

Congress will decide in the next week or two whether to keep giving Bush all the
money he wants to continue the violence, or they can cut him off and end the war.
Members of Congress are afraid to vote to take a stand -- they need to hear from
their constituents, so pick up the phone and give them a call today.

Unless Congress votes to end the war, the fourth year of fighting will begin on
March 19. The costs so far ...
* over 28,000 Iraqi civilian lives (and some estimates are as high as 100,000 lives)
* over 2,250 U.S. military lives
* over 4,000 Iraqi police and military deaths
* over 16,500 U.S. troops wounded in combat
* $251 billion spent to date
* $1.3 trillion estimated long-term bill

Call your Representative and Senators at 888-355-3588 (or 202-224-3121) today, and
tell them: Not one penny more for war!

SIGN THE "URGENT CALL FOR PEACE IN IRAQ" PETITION

Sign on today! We urge you to join women and men from all over the world who have
launched an Urgent Call for Peace in Iraq.

CODEPINK: Women for Peace, one of UFPJ’s member groups, is working to gather over
100,000 signatures on this call, and needs your signature, and your help, to do it!
On International Women's Day, March 8, these signatures will be delivered to U.S.
embassies, consulates, and federal offices all over the world.

You can help by signing the Call today at http://www.womensaynotowar.org and by
spreading the word through your email lists. Please consider joining CODEPINK on
March 8 in Washington DC, or joining an action in your town. Visit
http://www.womensaynotowar.org for details.

As you tell Congress not to spend another penny for war, please consider donating
some dollars for peace. While Congress is contemplating billions more in war
appropriations, United for Peace and Justice is struggling to raise the funds we
need to continue pressing for all the troops to be brought home now.

If each one of you could –- RIGHT NOW -- make a personally significant contribution
of $15, $25, $50 or $100, or sign up as a sustainer and make a recurring donation at
$5 or $10/month, we would have enough money to continue pressuring Congress, cover
our organizing expenses, and raise the volume of opposition to the war.
