= STOP a WAR on IRAN (5 actions) =
Jul 14, 2008

Would you please take action on the following to prevent another unnecessary war that would kill thousands more?  (To save time, you could fill out one, then copy your information into the other four.)
 
1]  Tell Bush and Congress:
No War against Iran!
http://www.stopwaroniran.org/petition.shtml
 
2]  No War with Iran!
http://democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/Peaceact/petition.jsp?petiti
 
3]  War with Iran? No!
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/o/2747/t/3489/petition.jsp?petiti
 
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. 
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/703/t/6396/p/dia/action/public/?acti 

Please re-post in your groups, forward this message, & tell everyone you know!!  Let's STOP another war!!

US Nuke Missiles Headed To Iran, Not For Decommissioning; Air Force Refusniks


Read about the struggles going on inside our own government. On one side are the sane people urging diplomacy and negotiation. On the insane side are the extremist Neo-Cons who want nuclear war and are moving nukes to the Middle East in order to use them.  

All part of the NeoCON/Bu$h PNAC Plan ... Bush's Grand Game: A "PNAC Primer" . . . . .

www.crisispapers.org/essays6w/PNAC.htm

Just in case some think all Americans are naïve - unaware of the results their actions - read, for example, Ralph Peter's article, Constant Conflict in the 1997 US Army War College Quarterly.

“There will be no peace. At any given moment for the rest of our lifetimes, there will be multiple conflicts in mutating forms around the globe. Violent conflict will dominate the headlines, but cultural and economic struggles will be steadier and ultimately more decisive. The de facto role of the US armed forces will be to keep the world safe for our economy and open to our cultural assault. To those ends, we will do a fair amount of killing. We are building an information-based military to do that killing. . . . . ”

The pathological problem with the neoconservatives is that they are myopic - unwilling to see, or hear criticism of, what conflicts with their ambition.

They do not care how many people are killed. Morality does not exist in their corporate quest.

--- READ THAT AGAIN ...

THERE WILL BE NO PEACE ....

Bu$h and PNAC = perpetual war and endless $$$ for Bu$h's war toys to line the pockets of his cronies/defense contractors!
================
 

TOGETHER, we can at least SLOW DOWN Bush & PNAC, starting by taking all of the actions listed above, & by telling  everyone we can, forwarding, re-posting, etc!!

-

IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE REVOLT AMONG AIR FORCE OFFICERS, THEIR REFUSAL TO OBEY THE PNAC AND NEOCON ORDERS, WE WOULD BE IN THE MIDST OF WWIII RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT {AND PERHAPS DEAD!}.
- 

THERE IS HOPE. I AM SURE THAT OUR EFFORTS HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!
-

THE AIR FORCE OFFICERS WHO RESISTED AND ARE CONTINUING TO RESIST NUKING IRAN, KNOW THAT THEY ARE DOING IT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING; AND THE THING WE ALL DESIRE.

-
BUSH CAN BUY SOME OF HIS GENERALS, LIKE GENERAL BETRAY-US; BUT HE CAN'T BUY THEM ALL. SOME STILL HAVE A SENSE OF HONOR AND OF CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.
-

WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!! WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ANY AND ALL SIGNS OF RESISTANCE TO WAR THAT WE PERCEIVE WITHIN THE ARMED FORCES THEMSELVES.

-
WE CAN TAKE IT ON FAITH THAT THERE IS SUCH RESISTANCE GOING ON; ASIDE FROM THAT LITTLE WHICH LEAKS OUT TO OUR PERCEPTION NOW AND THEN.

-
I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THE NEWS ABOUT THE AIR FORCE OFFICERS' RESISTANCE TO ORDERS TO NUKE IRAN. THERE IS A FEEDBACK DYNAMIC GOING ON: THEY GIVE US ENCOURAGEMENT, WE IN TURN CAN ENCOURAGE THEM EVEN MORE, TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

-
DO READ THE BLOG OR ARTICLE ABOUT THE AIR FORCE OFFICERS' REFUSAL TO BOMB IRAN:
["AIR FORCE REFUSENIKS http://www.care2.com/news/member/979852695/496326] .  
IT IS A LONG ARTICLE BUT SHOULD BE READ AND KNOWN AND WIDELY CIRCULATED.

Dear Friends,

We are out of time, and can afford no more distractions.

The news this morning is very disturbing. The writing is on the wall, we are headed for WW III. Russia has withdrawn from the arms treaty, Turkey is amassing troops on the Iraq border, American air bases in Iraq have been fixed and filled from the 3 aircraft carriers we sent to the gulf (another is on it's way), and we are currently working on the same in Afghanistan. Pace talked Sunday of a possibility of further troop build ups in Iraq, but where they would get the men is beyond me, unless through Blackwater. Israel thinks it has been given the green light light to set a match to the whole thing by attacking Iran. Iran has said it has 600 targets in Israel picked out to attack if they are attacked by anyone. Iran and Russia are both being demonizied for human rights issues. China is being demonized for everything, so the powers that be obviously feel they will be fighting for Iran, with their freshly built up military. The US consumer economy is falling, while the Dow skyrockets, with Alcoa and GE showing record profits. Meanwhile, congress sits on their hands, and refuses to either impeach or pass legislation requiring congressional approval before we can go to war with Iran. I have been writing frequent letters to my congressman (Doolittle, an apt name) as well as Pelosi, Boxer and Feinstein, and will be looking into who else I can contact. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along. I would like to target five or so who are on the fence, and a few who are firmly on both sides. Doing the research for this is time consuming, so any leads you might have would be greatly appreciated. I will be posting all that I figure out, and invite others to add to it, at the group Get Out and Act.

From Marcel this morning, more from me below....

PLEASE, WE MUST CONTACT NANCY PELOSKI TO BEGIN IMPEACHMENT PROCEDING AGAINST BUSH AND CHENEY FOR ABUSE OF OUR FREEDOMS, OUR COURTS, OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR INTERNATIONAL STANDING. 

BULLETIN ITEM: Super Critical Please Read Immediately: EVERYONE MUST CALL PELOSI IMMEDIATELY AND ASK HER TO IMPEACH

CALL EVERY DAY. SHE NEEDS 100 MILLION PHONE CALLS. START DELIVERING THEM. This is most likely THE ONLY WAY TO DERAIL THE BOMBING OF IRAN AND THE BUILD UP OF WORLD WAR. KEEP CALLING NO MATTER WHAT.

ALERT:
In response to Cindy Sheehan's challenge about running against her if Pelosi doesn't bring impeachment to the table, Nancy Pelosi is taking comments (not a poll) from the public on how they feel about impeaching Bush/Cheney.
I just called . . . Let her know!

YOU CAN ALSO EMAIL HER OFFICE HERE:

http://speaker.house.gov/contact/



Here are the phone numbers; call today and/or tomorrow:

Office of the Speaker
H-232, US Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

1- (202) - 225-0100  

1- (202)-222-8528


*There are also toll-free numbers you can use:

1-866-340-9281
1-866-220-0044


Take care of yourselves, and your loved ones. Never give up hope.
Love, Peace and Truth, Laura


I sent her this letter this morning, it is perhaps a little to strong, perhaps...


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

'IMAGINE' A PEACEFUL WORLD

EVERY MORNING WHEN YOU WAKE UP

&  -TOGETHER-,

WE -CAN- CREATE A PEACEFUL WORLD !!



  TAKE THE PLEDGE OF NONVIOLENCE! 


I have this pledge taped to our fridge, a daily reminder and a source of inspiration.    
Holly R.

    **Pledge of Nonviolence**

Making peace must start within us,
in our families, and in our community.
Each of us, commit as best we can,
to become engaged in the practice of Nonviolence.


       ***To Respect Self and Others
To respect myself, to affirm others
and to avoid uncaring criticism, hateful words,
physical attacks and self-destructive behavior.


       ***To Communicate Better
To share my feelings honestly,
to look for safe ways to express my anger,
and to work at solving problems peacefully.


       ***To Listen
To listen carefully to one another,
especially those who disagree with me,
and to consider others' feelings and needs
rather than insist on having my own way.


        ***To Forgive
To apologize and make amends
when I have hurt another,
to forgive others,
and to keep from holding grudges.


      *** To Respect Nature
To treat the environment and all living things
with respect and care.


       ***To Recreate Nonviolently
To promote athletic and recreational activities
that encourage cooperation
and to avoid social activities
that make violence look exciting, funny or acceptable.


       ***To Be Courageous
To challenge violence in all its forms
whenever I encounter it,
whether at home, at work,
in the congregation, or in the community,
and to stand with others who are treated unfairly.


      *** This is my pledge
I believe that each person can move the world
in the direction of peace
through his or her daily nonviolent choice and action.




"If you think you're too small to be effective, you have
never been in bed with a mosquito." –Bette Reese

Peace and cooperation is the road to the future,
if there is to be a future.
It is time for the people to stand up and say “we will no longer tolerate this abomination”. It is time for all parties to lay down their arms. It is time for the people of the every country and every creed to come together and tell the war mongers to step aside and let a new era open for mankind. Let us give power to those who advance the cause of peace and prosperity not doom and destruction.
  We must do this. We can do this. We will do this.

We are using the worldwide web to make this a truly international event and it will only happen if you help. Please include your contacts in other countries.

Calling for 2-1-1 Act
2-1-1 is an easy to remember telephone number that, where available, connects people with important community services and volunteer opportunities. The implementation of 2-1-1 is being spearheaded by United Ways and comprehensive and specialized information and referral agencies in states and local communities. United Way of America [UWA] and the Alliance for Information and Referral Systems [AIRS] strongly support federal funding so that every American has access to this essential service. Every hour of every day, someone in the United States needs essential services - from finding an after-school program to securing adequate care for a child or an aging parent. Faced with a dramatic increase in the number of agencies and help-lines, people often don't know where to turn. In many cases, people end up going without these necessary services because they do not know where to start.



Tell Senators to Ratify Treaty for Womens' Rights!!
The Treaty for the Rights of Women (officially known as the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women or CEDAW) provides an international standard by which countries can be held accountable for protecting the human rights of women. Created in 1979, the Treaty is an important tool for all those who seek to end abuses of women and girls throughout the globe.  The Treaty for the Rights of Women seeks to end violence against women, ensure access to education and health care, provide equal protection before the law and prevent other abuses of human rights. Currently, the United States is the only western country not to have ratified the Treaty.

Tell Bush's Environmental Advisor to STOP Bottom Trawling!!
Bottom trawling is the most damaging form of industrial fishing around.  Heavy nets plow the seafloor, obliterating everything in their path –devastating critical ocean habitats like corals and sponges and all the marine life they harbor. 
Next Wednesday and Thursday, the UN will convene in New York to decide what to do about these vulnerable deep-sea habitats.  You can contact President Bush's environmental advisor and let him know that you want the White House to support the UN moratorium on bottom trawling.  Click here send him a message right now!

Take Action - EPA's New Air Pollution Standards Fail to Protect Public Health
1]  Particle pollution is the nation's most deadly air pollutant.
But the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued
new standards that fundamentally fail to protect the public from
dangerous fine particle air pollution.  Tell EPA Administrator Johnson that you're disappointed with his new rule.
http://action.environmentaldefense.org/campaign/particle_pollution?rk=TpzfuS61zmh0W
2]  Stop TXU
Trouble's brewing in Texas. Its largest electric utility, TXU,
plans to build 11 new, highly polluting coal-fired power plants
in the coming months.  These plants alone will emit 78 million tons of carbon dioxide - undermining all progress made across America to reduce global warming pollution. Email TXU's CEO. Urge him to stop these power plants.

3]  Help Fight America's Dependence on Imported Oil
Did you know that America currently imports nearly 60% of the
oil we use? And that growth in America's oil demand is expected to rise by more than 50% in the next 20 years? Most of that demand will likely to be met by more imports unless we act now.  Ask your representative to co-sponsor an energy security resolution to slow and ultimately reverse our dependence on imported oil.

Don't let Congress contaminate food safety laws
News that more than 150 people have fallen ill from fresh spinach contaminated with E. coli bacteria highlights the need for the government to do MORE to protect the safety of our food.

STOP SUSAN DUDLEY
Illness-inducing spinach is one symptom of an inadequate regulatory system.  If Bush has his way, he'll be dismantling what's left of consumer protections affecting your health and safety. Keep your dinner table safe from unclean food. Stop Susan Dudley now. She's Bush's secret weapon to shelve safety regulations.

GOOD NEWS
You took to the streets!  More than 400,000 strong, you became a movement and you saw results. This year you passed strong identity theft reforms in more than a dozen states, and helped end the secrecy surrounding dangerous hospital-acquired infections. Thanks to you, millions living in California can look forward to lower prescription drug prices. Your visits to lawmakers' offices at home and in D.C., your calls, letters and emails, and your passion for these important goals made the difference!
