Dear Peace Advocate,
Time is running out! Help persuade the Long Beach City Council to pass our "No War On Iraq" Resolution. They will consider the issue next Tuesday, March 4.
WHAT YOU CAN DO!

(Start now; see contact info below)
ATTEND THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING!
(Rally at 4:15 PM; enter Council Chambers 5 PM
CONTINUE TO GET SIGNATURES ON OUR RESOLUTION/PETITION!
(downloadable at www.lbapn.net or call us)
City councils of over 121 cities, counties and state legislative bodies across the country have already adopted similar resolutions aimed at preventing war against Iraq and reclaiming US democracy.
Information on this national campaign, "Cities for Peace" is available at www.citiesforpeace.org., including "talking points." If you have other questions, call us at the numbers listed below.
SUGGESTIONS FOR CALLING:
When calling, if the Councilperson is not available, ask to speak their Chief of Staff. Briefly explain why you are against this war. Emphasize that you support a Resolution Against War on Iraq. Please mention also that you think this issue of war and peace is a local issue. Some claim it is a national issue and not one our City Council should consider.
Call every Councilperson and the Mayor. After you have called them then send an email or fax as well. Messages can be left anytime by voice mail.
It is very important that you do this by noon, Tuesday, March 4. Please share with us any responses you get.
