guess this is worth a try. linda ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rich Aucoin <richardaucoin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mar 26, 2007 9:46 AM Subject: FilibusterForPeace update To: jansen.l12@xxxxxxxxx Thank you for signing the petition at www.FilibusterForPeace.org. Things are moving quickly in Congress and we need you to take action today to help stop the Iraq War in the U.S. Senate. Please take the following two steps: 1. Help get more signatures. We now have about 3000 signatures, after only a few days, and that is quite impressive for a new program and a new site. This has been accomplished without any advertising, just word of mouth. But we would like many more than that. (Among our signers are Cindy Sheehan and Daniel Ellsberg.) So we ask you to contact everyone you know. Ask them to sign the petition by going to www.FilibusterForPeace.org. And ask them to contact their friends as well. 2. Contact Senators Byrd, Feingold, Kennedy, Sanders and Webb, and urge them to initiate the filibuster. They are the senators most likely to do so. They can be reached at: http://byrd.senate.gov/byrd_email.html http://feingold.senate.gov/contact_opinion.html http://kennedy.senate.gov/senator/contact.cfm http://sanders.senate.gov/comments/ http://webb.senate.gov/contact/ You can contact them by phone also: 202-224-3121. The funding debate is destined to come back to the Senate more than once. We intend to contact all the Senators and inform them of the petition before the first round of debate begins. We will inform them repeatedly as the numbers grow. So keep on gathering signatures. A big part of keeping pressure on the Senators is getting the filibuster strategy before the public. Gathering signatures does just that. We can make it clear that the Democrats in the Senate have more than enough votes to stop funding the war. They have the power. Do they have the integrity to stand up to the pro-war forces and say, "Enough"? We shall only know if we try to get them to do so. Thank you for your help in ending the war.
