Dear Friends:
Every day the occupation of Iraq does damage to Iraq, the United States and the world. Anti-war activists recognize it is time to re-ignite efforts to end the war and bring the troops home. Democracy Rising, founded by Ralph Nader and a founding member of United for Peace and Justice, is proud to announce its' 'Stop the War' campaign designed to empower grass roots organizations as well as individual activists throughout the country to end the war as soon as possible.
As you will see on our website, http://www.DemocracyRising.US, we provide tools you can use:
|
E-Postcards to make it easy to spread the word - get people
involved. The e-postcards can include a photo of U.S. war protests or
of the horrors of the war as a way to encourage involvement in anti-war
efforts. To send a picture as an E-Postcard, find the picture in the
Multimedia Gallery and then click Up-to-Date News from our news feed. You can get a daily news video from Iraq as well as connections to all the latest news on the war and occupation.
Contact Decision Makers: Through our ‘Stop the War’ Campaign we make it easy for you to contact your elected officials, an email, write or call to let them know it is time to stop the war and bring the troops home. Influence the Media: We’ll be sending out action alerts that provide a coordinated campaign to influence the media and urge more complete coverage of the impact of the war and occupation. Coming soon will be a page with email address for letters to the editor for major media outlets. |
The anti-war movement had an impressive beginning, putting millions of people in the streets throughout the world. The arguments we put forward before the invasion have come true – the occupation has become a quagmire, made us less safe, costs hundreds of billions of dollars, weakened U.S. relationships around the world – it is a catastrophic failure and the longer it goes on the more damage it will do. Democracy Rising wants to help all of us create an even stronger anti-war movement that not only elected officials hear – but one they cannot ignore.
We can end the war in Iraq if we act together with a concerted effort at stopping the war and bringing the troops home.
Sincerely,
Kevin Zeese
