The signature campaign, launched by "Bridge to Baghdad" and the "Gulf Committee", began in January 2000 and has involved activists, local committees and grassroots groups nationwide in an effort to put pressure on Italy's lawmakers for a more forceful stand on the tragedy of the Iraqi people. <<<< Dear friends, Here in the states, only 30,000 Americans have signed the "Declaration in Opposition to Sanctions." Considering the U.S. population of over 270 million, we have a long way to go. By July 15th, let's try to match Italy's fine work, proportionally speaking. That means at least 150,000!
