: i didnt read your whole lil speech, but i did notice one thing.... : New York isnt on your list. go figure. : : : Want to do something to stop a senseless war? : : Add your name to the Iraq Peace Pledge and send this plea to at least : : five others. Pledge signers "grant permission to use their names and : : cities publicly as an opponent of the ongoing economic and bombing war : : on Iraq." In other words, you make a public statement, and on January : : 21st, that statement will be hand-delivered to Congress. : : www.peacepledge.org : : Your names make a difference. Each Member of Congress will receive a : : list of Pledge signatories from their state. Your names will show the : : breadth of opposition to war with Iraq and swell the ranks of the : : organized movement to stop it. : : On Tuesday, January 21, volunteers from across the U.S. will "Drop and : : Stop-In on Congress" to deliver these names with the simple message "THE : : PEOPLE DEMAND PEACE." : : In October, Congress passed the Iraq war resolution in a heated : : controversy that gave the President a green light for military action. : : But it also implored President to fully support the United Nations : : weapons inspection process. Now Congress must ensure that President : : Bush does adhere to the UN peace process and not drag the country into a : : costly, deadly and unethical war. NOW is the time to pressure Congress : : and the White House. : : www.peacepledge.org : : Already signed your name? Already sent this to everyone you know?
