Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard toll free at 888-818-6641 and ask to speak to your Representative (or your Senators). Give them this message:
"I strongly oppose the war in Iraq. I want all our troops brought home safely, without delay. I urge Representative (or Senator) X to vote against the President's $72.4 billion 'emergency' supplemental request for the war." Please forward widely! Not One Penny More for War! National Call-In Day Tuesday, February 28, 2006 Call Congress toll free: 888-818-6641
President Bush has asked Congress for another $72 billion for his illegal war in Iraq. This will bring the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to almost $120 billion for 2006 -- that's on top of the $432 billion the military is already spending this year, and in addition to the more than $250 billion already spent on the Iraq war!
Call your Representative and Senators at 888-818-6641 on Tuesday, Feb. 28th, and tell them: Not one penny more for war!
Members of Congress are afraid to vote against this money because they don't want to be accused of not supporting the troops. It is time to stop using the troops as a shield for failed policy. It is time for the people of this country to speak up and show Congress how to stand up to the President.
Help us flood the Capitol Switchboard with calls for peace by forwarding this email to your friends and family. (If you received this email from a friend, please consider joining United for Peace and Justice's ongoing action network to keep receiving our alerts.)
Bush's inane "stay the course" rhetoric has lost all credibility. There is no course, no plan, no end in sight to this war. The U.S. is not making progress, in fact, deadly attacks are increasing, and 2006 will be the most expensive year of the war so far.
Like an addicted gambler, Bush refuses to get up from the table, begging for more money to lay down in a game he can't win. But this gambler is playing with our money and the lives of our family members, friends and neighbors. The only way to stop him is to cut off the money.
Some members of the House and the Senate are claiming that Iraq is not important to their constituents, that they are not hearing from people about the war. Make sure they hear from you -- and everyone you know who, like the majority of this country, opposes the war.
Make at least one phone call to your Representative or to one of you Senators, but three phone calls are better than one!

Visit the Legislative Action section of our website to learn more about how you can help pressure Congress to stop dithering and bring an end to this war!
As you tell Congress not to spend another penny for war, please consider donating some dollars for peace. While Congress is contemplating billions more in war appropriations, United for Peace and Justice is struggling to raise the funds we need to continue pressing for all the troops to be brought home now.
If each one of you could –- RIGHT NOW -- make a personally significant contribution of $15, $25, $50 or $100, or sign up as a sustainer and make a recurring donation at $5 or $10/month, we would have enough money to continue pressuring Congress, cover our organizing expenses, and raise the volume of opposition to the war.

Thanks for your support -- together we will bring this immoral war to an end!

Tell the terrorists to stop fighting. Then there won't be any war in Iraq.
