CALL YOUR CONGRESSFOLK NOW!

The President is making a speech tomorrow about his new "plan" for Iraq. This plan includes a troop surge of up to more than 20,000 troops. We cannot send more of our troops to die trapped in the middle of the civil war there. The insurgency started and increased because of our presence, and it is time for us to go. General Casey and General Abizaid were let go because they disagreed Bush's plan. General Colin Powell disagrees with this plan. Retired generals, congresspeople, former presidents...a lot of people disagree with this plan, yet George continues to push for it like a petulant child.

CALL and email your congressfolk and let them know that YOU disagree with this plan as well and will not allow any more of your tax money go towards funding more troops to be sent over to that mess. The only plan that money should be used for is one that includes a troops withdrawal and proper diplomatic initiatives.

On Thursday there will be anti-war events all over the country (you can check with UFPJ, MoveOn, Code Pink, Faithful America and True Majority for details) the ones here in NYC are all at noon (thus far) and I can't get out of work, but if YOU can make any of the planned events, GET OUT THERE and make your voice heard!

You voted. You said no to the corruption. You said no to the single party rule. You said no to the war in Iraq. Make sure that the people you voted for do their jobs.

Peace --Alex
