Subject: Virtual March on Washington
Ask Your Friends to Join the Virtual March on Washington
This Saturday, January 27, will be the largest anti-war protest
since the war began on 3/19/03, with a big march in Washington DC:
http://unitedforpeace.org
and local events across the country:

(More details below).
Of course only a small fraction of America will participate in
these events because of time, money, or lack of awareness due to
the corporate media blackout of all progressive organizing.
We really need everyone who opposes the Iraq War to speak up NOW.
That's why we're making it easy with a Virtual March on Washington:
http://democrats.com/outofiraq
Americans oppose Bush's escalation by 68%-26% - that's 153 million
adults and millions more teens. Yet George Bush still adamantly
refuses to listen to us, and Congress is moving too slowly to stop
him.
Each of us knows 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100 people who share our
opposition to Bush's War but won't march in the streets.
All we ask is they take 1 minute to email their Representatives:

We will tally the emails on the right side of the page and hope to
collect as many as we possibly can.
Can you help us by reaching out to your personal email lists? Click

Breaking News: Rep. Jim McGovern to introduce "The Safe and Orderly
Withdrawal Act"
This week, our friend and ally Rep. Jim McGovern will introduce new
legislation, "The Safe and Orderly Withdrawal Act of 2007," calling
for the safe and orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq
within 30 days of enactment to be completed within 180 days. The
withdrawal would be paid for by already appropriated funds and all
funds for deployment of U.S. troops would be terminated upon
completion of the withdrawal. More:

Exclusive PDA interview with Rep. Jim McGovern
By David Swanson, PDA Board Member
In an exclusive interview conducted Jan. 22 for PDA by David
Swanson, Rep. McGovern commented on a range of issues:
* The urgency of this moment: "This war has gone on longer than our
involvement in WW II. It is time to step it up a notch and to urge
Congress to finally live up to its constitutional responsibility."
* Upcoming "supplemental" funding bills: "I don’t want to be
talking about emergency supplementals in 2008 or 2009. I want this
war over! I don’t want the next Presidential election to be about
the war in Iraq."
