Four years of stupidity and waste with the potential of many more to come

18 Mar 2007 6:54 (Edited: 18 Mar 2007 6:54)

Four years have now gone by in Bush's war. How many deaths will it take? How bad does it have to get before some of you get involved? Are you even registered to vote and if you are, do you? Has a friend been killed or maimed yet? Will you wait til it happens?

Don't Buy Bush's War! Congress will soon be debating and voting on Bush's war budget requests, starting with an emergency supplemental on March 14. In response, we have launched our broad and exciting Don't Buy Bush's War Campaign. We need to flood the offices, halls, sidewalks and streets of Congress with people opposed to the war from now through this Fall. We're asking for your help to get people to Washington DC and to do similar actions locally. CALL CONGRESS: we're also asking you to call and email [ link ] your member of Congress telling him or her to stop buying Bush's war by voting NO on these supplemental appropriations. Click here [ link ] to learn more, see latest DC action/arrest photos, and watch us protesting inside the Valerie Plame Wilson Hearings.

We're at a historic crossroads right now. Either Congress will allow this war to drag on for years, wreaking havoc that will spread throughout the Middle East, or we end the war in 2007 by pressuring Congress to defund the war and fully fund the safe and orderly withdrawal of our troops. Let's work together to choose the second path, the path of peace.


It's deja vu all over again. The Bush administration, having mired us in a war in Iraq, is now preparing an attack on Iran. Have we learned nothing from the last run-up to war? We need to tell the press that now is the time to ask serious questions instead of blindly supporting the administration's headlong rush into another unnecessary war.
Ask Your Press to be Critical and Vigilant!

The mainstream media is already jumping on the bandwagon about the Iranian threat. We hoped they would have learned their lesson after spreading falsehoods about WMDs in Iraq. But once again journalists such as New York Times' Michael R. Gordon, Judith Miller's sidekick in the WMD and phony aluminum tubes reporting, are quoting anonymous sources as proof that Iran is providing Iraqi militias with powerful explosives to attack US troops.

In fact, the evidence against Iran is insubstantial and full of exaggeration. Even General Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he hasn't seen any intelligence that supports the claim. We need to tell the press that now is the time to ask serious questions instead of blindly supporting the administration's headlong rush into another tragic and unnecessary war. Please contact media outlets and tell them we demand a critical, vigilant press. Click here to send your letter now! [ link ]


Occupation Project "Now is the time for seriously strategizing about the best ways, in our hometowns, to engage in sustained civil disobedience at the offices of elected representatives, demanding that they vote against the supplemental spending bill,” writes activist Kathy Kelly. Answering her call to action, dozens of Occupation Projects have sprouted around the country. Click here join your local Occupation Project or grow your own project, and see photos of local action.
