Dear Friends, This action is probably the most critical thing we can do as peacemakers this holiday season. Does anyone want to car pool with me on Wednesday from the Pinetree in Topanga at 10AM to tell Waxman to cut funding for the war? Peace, Tonia 310-703-3964 ---------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 08:36:47 EST To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [pdla] Wed., Dec. 20, 11 - 1, Peace March at Waxman's Office, Cut Funding for Iraq War Bring Signs & Join Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles, Topanga Peace Alliance, Palisadians for Peace, Santa Monica Peace Table, Progressive Democrats of the Santa Monica Mountains, and the Santa Monica Peace Club Wed., Dec. 20, 11 AM - 1 PM In Front of Congressman Henry Waxman's Office 8436 West Third Street, Suite 600 Los Angeles, CA 90048 (On Third, Just East of La Cienega) Urge Waxman to Take a Leadership Role in Bringing our Troops Home Now Demand Waxman Pledge to Vote against the Next 150-Billion Dollars for Iraq Ask Waxman to Sign on to HR4232, Congressman McGovern's bill to cut funding for the Occupation For more info on the peace march, contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suggestions for Signs Waxman, Cut $$$for Occupation Waxman, Not Another 150-Billion Waxman, Why Aren't You a Co-sponsor of HR4232? Pelosi Pledges $$$$ for Bush's War, Not You, Too, Henry Iraq War: 2-Billion Per Week, $11-Million Per Hour How Much More $$$ for Oil War? Adopting an inside/outside strategy, some activists will meet inside with Waxman's staff while others march outside Waxman's office. An aide for Waxman told us the Congressman hasn't decided yet how he will vote on the next supplemental war appropriations bill. But remember, in 2002 Waxman voted for the Iraq War Authorization bill, unlike 133 other members of Congress who opposed a US invasion of Iraq. Since 2002, Waxman has voted for almost every supplemental funding bill. Enough is enough! Let's give Waxman the support he needs to stand up to the Democratic leadership. Though the mid-term election was a referendum on the Iraq War, House Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi says the Democratic Party leadership will support continued funding of the occupation. Protest this outrage. You do not have to live in Waxman's 30th Congressional District to join us on Wednesday. Tell Waxman you want him to use his great influence to talk to others, both in the Democratic leadership and in the Southern California delegation, to end funding for the occupation. Can't make it? FAX Waxman (323) 655-0502 (202) 225-4099 CALL Waxman (323) 651-1040 (phone) (818) 878-7400 (phone) (310) 652-3095 (phone) (202) 225-3976 (phone) FAX Pelosi 415-861-1670 202-225-8259 CALL Pelosi 415-556-4862 202-225-4965 Or Contact Your Congress Member http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/ Sample Fax Dear _________________: The Democrats took back Congress because an overwhelming majority of Americans want the US occupation of Iraq to end. Now, we demand the Democratic Party leadership act responsibly to cut funding for this senseless occupation. Respect the will of the people. Vote NO on the next 150-billion-dollar Iraq supplemental war appropriation bill. Co-sponsor Congressman McGovern's HR4232. HR4232 would end all funding for the deployment of US troops to Iraq. HR4232 would provide for the safe and orderly withdrawal of US troops. How many more thousands of Americans and Iraqis have to die before the Democrats refuse to fund Bush's war? Cut the funding now.
