BLOCK THE ESCALATION IN IRAQ

Hi there

I'm spreading the word about a campaign run by AVAAZ.org -- see their website for more details.

This is the content of the ad I have just endorsed:


"Block the Escalation in Iraq

George W Bush wants to pour more petrol on the fires burning in Iraq. But the new US Congress has the mandate to douse the flames. If they hear from all of us, they might find the guts to do it! Add your voice NOW to block Bush's military escalation and demand a real plan to end the war.

Bush's proposals will cost lives, make the entire world less secure, and make it harder to produce a real, political solution. Americans are rising up in protest. We want to lend a hand by running this ad [Even HE won't do it -- with a photo of Tony Blair] in one of the most influential US papers – one that reaches every Senator and Representative. Add your name to this ad campaign. Then spread the word today.

Petition: President Bush’s plan to escalate the war in Iraq is not supported by the Iraqi people, the international community, the Iraq Study Group, or the vast majority of Americans.

We urge the new US Congress to block the military escalation in Iraq and demand a diplomatic solution and a real plan to end the Iraq war."

Thank you for joining us!

Peace
