No War against Iran!

4]  Say “NO” to Iran War Resolution!
http://capwiz.com/niacouncil/issues/alert/?alertid=11523111
  
5] Congress needs to hear a resolute NO to H. Con. Res. 362 in the House and S. Res. 580 in the Senate.  These resolutions essentially call for an act of war - a naval blockade of Iran.  If passed by the Congress and Bush does what is asked, it creates a green light for war with Iran.

So, you say you want to know how the public feels about impeachment. It is the reason that the democrats took over the House and the Senate, and you have FAILED us. FAILED to move to impeach and get the executive branch under control, FAILED to work toward a solution in Iraq, FAILED to do anything to keep us out of Iran and WW-III, FAILED to see through the propaganda, and demonization that is being used to excuse Bushes policies, FAILED to understand the true roots of terrorism. Yes, Ms. Pelosi, we want Cheney, and then Bush impeached, it is the only way to undo the damage they have done to our country, our image, and the image of democracy, the only way to begin a real solution to the situation in Iraq an Afghanistan, and last and least, the only way to save your image and that of all Democrats

But while you are voting, thousands of like-minded minded people won't be - giving Conservatives control of Congress for two more years. 
  We're calling people who often don't vote in mid-term elections like this one to make sure they get to the polls. Thousands of people vote for the President, but forget about the importance of voting for their Congressional Representatives! If we just get these people to vote, they'll provide a winning margin in many of the closest races.

= YOU Can Help the Military in Iraq Come Home!! =
Many active duty, reserve, and guard service members are concerned about the war in Iraq and support the withdrawal of U.S. troops. The Appeal for Redress provides a way in which individual service members can appeal to their Congressional Representative and US Senators to urge an end to the U.S. military occupation. The Appeal messages will be delivered to members of Congress at the time of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January 2007.

IRAQ:
2020 Vision has repeatedly advocated for peace in Iraq. Unfortunately, we've not even been able to get a real debate on the issue in Congress. Iraq has become a major issue on the campaign trail, and we expect you've long since heard about where the candidates in your area stand. But if you haven't, now is the time to find out.  Find out if your Representative supported a free and open debate on Iraq by going to

http://clerk.house.gov/109/lrc/pd/Petitions/Dis6.htm
If he or she has not signed on, call his or her office and find out why not. It's time to find out why we can't have a real debate on the war. This election, we need to make sure that the politicians know we're still paying attention to the war, and that we still care.
MAKE SURE THEY HEAR YOU
If your Senators and Representative did not support these bills, call them [see toll free phone numbers above] and find out why, and call their opponents and find out where they stand. Our leaders are not leading, and the result of their negligence is poisoning our air, endangering the planet, and plunging Iraq into civil war while putting our soldiers in the middle of it. The whole world, from the threatened arctic to the estimated 655,000 dead civilians in Iraq, are paying for their failings.  But we can change these facts in less than a week. Now is the time. Volunteer on campaigns. Make sure your friends and neighbors know the issues, and that they vote.  A change is coming. Let's be a part of it.

1]  Help Children and Adults with Autism
Ask your Representative to pass the Combating Autism Act!
Earlier this summer, the Senate passed the Combating Autism Act, legislation that calls for a significant investment in autism research at the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Additionally, the legislation would provide resources to improve diagnosis, screening services and supports for children and adults with autism and their families. Despite the bill's non-controversial provisions and bipartisan support, the House is unlikely to consider the bill without a major push from their constituents. Learn more about autism and the Combating Autism Act.
2]  Protect Funding for Disability Services

Ask Congress to protect funding for disability services!
Millions of Americans with disabilities rely on government programs which provide long-term care, services and/or supports to live, learn, work and play in their communities. Since Members of Congress will return to Washington after the November election to complete work on 2007 funding bills, there is still time to help people with disabilities maintain and gain independence by contacting your Senators and Representative today to remind them about the important role these programs play in the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families.
3]  Protect Children's Health Services in the Schools

Ask your legislators to cosponsor and pass the Protecting Children's Health in the Schools Act!
All children, especially children with disabilities, are better prepared to learn when they have the services and supports they need. To ensure that students actually get the supports they need to live healthy and productive lives, Easter Seals is actively supporting the Protecting Children's Health in the Schools Act. Learn more about protecting children's health in the schools.

Prescriptions for Peace in Northern Uganda
  Current peace talks to end the civil war in northern Uganda represent the best prospect in years for a resolution to the decades-old conflict, according to a new policy brief from Mercy Corps http://www.mercycorps.org/files/file1161966634.pdf. 
We're calling on local and international actors to fortify the fragile peace process through swift and sustained support.
  "Through generous, well-designed and dependable assistance, the international community can help Ugandans seize control of their futures and start to realize the possibilities that have so recently sprung to life there," says Brian Grzelkowski, Mercy Corps' senior policy advisor, who recently returned from a fact-finding mission to the war-torn country.
  Mercy Corps provides humanitarian and development assistance to internally displaced people (IDPs) in the conflict-affected Pader District of northern Uganda, where more than 90 percent of the population has fled their homes and now resides in overcrowded camps.

Over the last 20 years, the conflict has claimed as many as 200,000 lives and forced more than 1.6 million people from their homes.  We invite you to read the report at http://www.mercycorps.org/?sections_url=countries&subsections_url=uganda&items_id=1512&medium=text2 and take action. Call the local office of your Congressional representatives and tell them the U.S. must do its part to secure a long-overdue peace for the people of northern Uganda.    Find the right phone numbers by visiting these Web sites - House:  http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml
Senate:  http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
  And, to help us track the response, please e-mail us at newsletter@mercycorps.org and let us know who you've called.

For more information just leave me an email here.  She's a red nose pit, primarily white with orange/red spots. She was found as a stray outside of the local safeway. My friend and I put up "found" dog signs but no one answered them. I can't keep her because I already have 3 dogs. She's partially house and kennel trained, but needs a little more work. Great with kids and other animals. My six year old uses her as a pillow. She's here in El Mirage, AZ (just outside of Sun City/Peoria/Surprise area) and we can meet anyone at least half way here to deliver her.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE AND GLOBAL WARMING
  2020 Vision has been supporting one large bill all year on this important issue. The Vehicle and Fuel Choices for American Security Act calls for savings of 2.5 million barrels of oil per day in the next ten years, and 7 million in the 10 years after that. This legislation is a bipartisan recognition that we cannot drill or import our way out of the threats to our economy, our security and our environment that our oil use is posing.
Find out whether your Senator has cosponsored this bill here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN02025:@@@P
Find out if your Representative is on board here:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:HR04409:@@@P
We believe that changing our energy use in a way that helps our economy, cuts down on global warming, and avoids the next oil war is going to have to be a bipartisan effort.

If your Senators or Congressman hasn't made that commitment yet, now would be a good time to call his or her office [toll-free phone numbers above] and raise the issue. We need all the support we can get in the next Congress!
FUEL ECONOMY
  2020 Vision has supported raising the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards as the single biggest step we can take toward reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and lowering our dependence on foreign oil. In the Senate, there have been two competing bills attempting to do this. Both are bipartisan efforts, and both would have profound positive effects on our energy use.
Supporters of the Fuel Economy Reform Act here: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN03694:@@@P
Supporters of the Ten-in-Ten Fuel Economy Act here:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN03543:@@@P .
  In the House, the Boehlert-Markey bill was defeated by a Committee Chairman, Rep Joe Barton (R-TX). The Boehlert-Markey bill was a bipartisan effort to increase fuel economy standards by five miles per gallon over the next 5 years, a level that is widely agreed to be easily reached using current, proven technologies. We must ensure that this bill will be passed this year. To find out if your Representative signed on to these bills:
