URGENT - calls needed to Senator Byrd's office to stop the war
It is urgent to call Sen. Robert Byrd's office (202-224-3954) and ask the Senator to filibuster against the war resolution of the Administration (and
Dem leadership).
His office is taking a poll on whether he should do this.
We need to swamp the offices to urge him on. (He has been one of the few courageous voices on this.)
His filibuster may be the only impediment to the war plans and it may spark demonstrations of support in DC and around the country.

Over 1300! of you have sent an e-mail to the Democratic Party Leaders in
Congress who have Presidential aspirations. Lets continue to put the pressure on! Please Forward the following link as widely as possible.
http://www.voice4change.org/stories/mailcongress.asp
Note: It is clear there was a problem with the Daschle and Edwards E-mail addresses. The solution I propose is that everone call Senator Daschle and Senator Edwards and tell them you will not forget this vote, at the end of the call ask them for an e-mail address that you can forward your bounced message too. This solution puts more pressure on with the phone call. Icould call and try to get another e-mail address, but 1300 calls would be better! Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121!

URGENT: CALL CONGRESS EVERY DAY! NO AUTHORIZATION FOR WAR ON IRAQ!

THE MORE CONGRESSIONAL VOTES BUSH GETS IN FAVOR OF THIS RESOLUTION, THE MORE HE IS EMPOWERED TO FORCE THIS WAR ON THE WORLD--- EITHER TO GO TO WAR UNILATERALLY, OR PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE UN TO APPROVE THE WAR. EITHER WAY, MILLIONS OF LIVES ARE IN THE BALANCE!

IMMEDIATE ACTION ALERT ON IRAQ
from Progressive Portal and Global Exchange
Anti-war citizens have just a couple of days to influence the Congressional debate about Iraq. Congress is expected to pass a resolution next week
--
and there is evidence that a strong outpouring of
anti-war sentiment is starting to have an impact,
as members from both parties express skepticism
about the broad war mandate sought by the White
House.
