Forwarding Widely

Please forward widely! (Oakey-Doakey) Tell Your Representative TODAY: Fund Withdrawal, Not More War! Vote NO on the supplemental spending bill! Call the Congressional Switchboard toll-free: 888-851-1879 Dear Rodger, The House of Representatives could vote today to give President Bush another $100 billion to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Democratic Party leadership of the House is trying to portray this bill as a positive step toward ending the war, and some organizations are saying the bill challenges the Bush Administration's failed policy in Iraq, and therefore should be suported [sic] by the antiwar movement. United for Peace and Justice strongly disagrees. We urge you to call your representative in the House NOW and tell him or her to VOTE NO on the supplemental, to VOTE NO on the "Iraq Accountability Act."

It's very handy resource, and I've added it to my links, below. Here's the intro to UFP&J "... all national protests against the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, were organized by three main groups: International ANSWER, the coalition United for Peace and Justice, and Not In Our Name. The covert agendas of these groups -- Marxism-Leninism, New Left radicalism, and Maoism -- are discussed in the specific group profiles."
