PETITION:
Subject: Women Against War
Today 25
Congresswomen in the US House of Representatives walked
out--and
refused to participate in the vote to give Bush war powers
--
-
they were led by Barbara Bell of California and they
took up residence
on the White House lawn...
They say
women can change the world. Here is a chance! A
nation-wide
effort to unite women against war has drafted a
statement here and ask
you, if you are so moved, to send it
out to as many women and women's
groups as you can for
endorsement. You can also sign as an individual.
If you feel
so moved, please sign below, giving your or your
organisation's
name and location. Then please cut and paste this
message
into
a new message and forward on to as many people as you know.
If
you
are the 50th, 100th, 150th, 200th, etc., person,
please also e-mail a
copy back to
[EMAIL PROTECTED].
This is our chance to stop this
war. Women are a strong
constituency in this country.
We only have a few days.
Please
act immediately.
Women United Against War.
As women embracing
life and peace, we declare ourselves opposed to any
military
action against Iraq. As women, we have been the victims
of
many
kinds of violence. We call on you, our Congress
members, to oppose any
military action. We make this demand
for ourselves, our children, our
parents, our brothers, husbands,
partners and friends. We make this
demand because we understand
that warfare creates endless cycles of
violence, destruction and
death, impoverishing us spiritually and
economically. We make
this demand because warfare destroys family
life,
throwing
whole communities into exile and turning children
into
orphans.
We make this demand because we cannot build
happy lives on a ground
polluted by violence. We believe this is
a defining moment in the life
of our country.We will either
take our place in the family of nations
as
seekers of peace
and justice or we will start down a terrible road to
war,
unleashing the fury of generations to come on our land. We
call
upon you to act with integrity, to show courage and remember
that
you are guardians of the public trust and of the world
we leave to our
children. We oppose this war. We oppose all
elected officials who
support this war. There is no other issue
greater than the cause of
peace. No past stand or history can be
called upon to overshadow the
imperative to stand today for
peace.
We, as women acting to shape public life, dedicate our
energy,
resources, and hopes to those who establish peace. There
will be no
war in our names. If you want our support and votes,
stop this war!
