Congress Is Listening; Prevent Escalation In Iraq

Jan 16, 2007

Dear Friend,

The pressure we have been putting on Congress to oppose President Bush’s plan to escalate the war in Iraq is working. Senator Kennedy's office personally contacted us to thank us and our supporters for our help. We must help Senator Kennedy lead this fight by increasing the pressure on other Senators.

You can call your Senators by calling the Capitol Switchboard toll-free at 866-340-9281. They will redirect you to your Senators’ offices. Tell them that you want them to co-sponsor Senator Kennedy’s bill (S.233) opposing an escalation of the war in Iraq.

More than 30,000 people have signed our petition urging Congress to reject the President’s plan. Many Senators and Representatives have already spoken out against escalating the war.

After President Bush’s speech announcing the escalation last week, Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) sponsored legislation which would require a Congressional vote on whether more troops should be sent to Iraq.

Help Senator Kennedy lead this fight by calling your Senators and asking them to co-sponsor this legislation.

Please call your Senators today toll-free at 866-340-9281 and ask them to co-sponsor S.233. Tell them that you want them to co-sponsor Senator Kennedy’s bill (S.233) opposing an escalation of the war in Iraq.

After you talk with your Senators, please let us know what they tell you by filling out this short form on our website. Your information will give us valuable intelligence on where each Senator stands on the war. We will use this information in our lobbying in the Capital and pass it along to Senator Kennedy as well.

We can stop this senseless war, but time is short. We are expecting a vote within days.

Sincerely,

John Isaacs and Guy Stevens
