Subject: BS: Actions to promote peace
Bobert, I haven't the info on the congresspeople, yet, but came across this from a few years ago and thought parts of it might still be helpful as far as suggestions go, so will start with it:
"Join others pledging opposition to the war against Iraq in a powerful, pro-active peace movement, promoting a more peaceful and just global community.
"'A time has come when silence is betrayal. That time is now.' Martin Luther King Jr."
I pledge to take the following action: (check as many as apply)
____ Write a letter to the editor of my newspaper
____ Form a delegation to visit a local newspaper to discuss Iraq coverage
____ Introduce a resolution to my organization or faith community
____ Engage at least one new person in conversation about Iraq: ____ Daily ____ Weekly
____ Call the President to urge him not to wage war in Iraq
____ Call my Congresspeople (Congressional Switchboard 202-224-3121 or individual local numbers) to urge no war on Iraq: ____ every weekday ____ weekly
____ Write a letter to my Congressperson and Senators (to their local offices because of problems in DC mail delivery) weekly.
____ Participate in a public event such as a vigil or picket: ____ weekly ____ monthly
____ Other (please specify, be creative and report your efforts so we can post them)"
