liberal UFPJ says call congress toll free today on war funding

[Gopher Broke]

Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard toll free at 888-355-3588 and ask to speak to your Representative (or your Senators). Give them this message:

"I strongly oppose the war in Iraq. I want all our troops brought home safely, without delay. I urge Representative (or Senator) X to vote against the President's $72.4 billion 'emergency' supplemental request for the war." Please forward widely! Not One Penny More for War!

National Call-In Day

TODAY: Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Call Congress toll-free: 888-355-3588 (If you have trouble with the 888 number, please try the direct number: 202-224-3121.)

President Bush has asked Congress for another $72 billion for his immoral war in Iraq. Congress has the power to cut off the money for the war and bring the troops safely home.

Congress will decide in the next week or two whether to keep giving Bush all the money he wants to continue the violence, or they can cut him off and end the war. Members of Congress are afraid to vote to take a stand -- they need to hear from their constituents, so pick up the phone and give them a call today.

Unless Congress votes to end the war, the fourth year of fighting will begin on March 19. The costs so far … over 28,000 Iraqi civilian lives (and some estimates are as high as 100,000 lives)

over 2,250 U.S. military lives

over 4,000 Iraqi police and military deaths

over 16,500 U.S. troops wounded in combat

$251 billion spent to date

$1.3 trillion estimated long-term bill

Call your Representative and Senators at 888-355-3588 today, and tell them: Not one penny more for war!

Sign the "Urgent Call for Peace in Iraq" Petition Sign on today! We urge you to join women and men from all over the world who have launched an Urgent Call for Peace in Iraq.

CODEPINK: Women for Peace, one of UFPJ's member groups, is working to gather over 100,000 signatures on this call, and needs your signature, and your help, to do it! On International Women's Day, March 8, these signatures will be delivered to U.S. embassies, consulates, and federal offices all over the world.

You can help by signing the Call today at www.womensaynotowar.org and by spreading the word through your email lists. Please consider joining CODEPINK on March 8 in Washington DC, or joining an action in your town. Visit www.womensaynotowar.org for details.

As you tell Congress not to spend another penny for war, please consider donating some dollars for peace. While Congress is contemplating billions more in war appropriations, United for Peace and Justice is struggling to raise the funds we need to continue pressing for all the troops to be brought home now.

If each one of you could –- RIGHT NOW -- make a personally significant contribution of $15, $25, $50 or $100, or sign up as a sustainer and make a recurring donation at $5 or $10/month, we would have enough money to continue pressuring Congress, cover our organizing expenses, and raise the volume of opposition to the war.

Follow the links below for more information on anti-war events being planned around the country for the third anniversary of the Iraq War, and on a massive mobilization being planned for New York City on Saturday, April 29.

Thanks for your support -- together we will bring this immoral war to an end!

I wish the callers could all see how Code Pink treats wounded vets.

You'd think these left-over hippies would've learned something from the 3 million people who died AFTER the Americans declared peace in South VietNam. I suppose that they weren't exactly studying while they were in college protesting the war.

[SR 50]

This sounds like a real money maker to me. It also sounds like they don't want to be out done by the US Government collecting more money for the War effort than the LAME CODE-PINK-O's.

The 100,000 signatures presented to Washington on 8 March should be passed on to the terrorist in Iraq.

[Ouderkirk]

You just don't declare peace...what a moron

[Red Badger]

If you want peace, prepare for war.....Julius Caesar.....

"I strongly oppose the war in Iraq.

Then state the reasoning for your opposition.

I want all our troops brought home safely, without delay.

Then state your reasoning for the consequences of leaving millions of Iraqis in the hands of terrorists.

urge Representative (or Senator) X to vote against the President's $72.4 billion 'emergency' supplemental request for the war."

Then state what social program you would want that money to go to.

Please forward widely! Not One Penny More for War!

Then state which social areas you would like to see more money spent on: academics, United Nations, poverty, environment, etc.

And I care what Code Pink thinks? I'll send this out to my email list to call in support of the war. I am tired of left wingers trashing our troops and our President.

[Paige]

Hey, it was funny. LOL

You'd think these left-over hippies would've learned something from the 3 million people who died AFTER the Americans declared peace in South VietNam.

I guess you don't understand that some revolutionary justice was in order after the capitalist running dogs departed.

I suppose that they weren't exactly studying while they were in college protesting the war.

Of course they weren't.Having a trust fund means always knowing where your next meal is coming from.

The Code Pink Commies.... yeah gals, its all about the money. Like domestic spending isn't through the roof in this country. ROFL!
