* Stop the War on Iraq!

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30: Emergency Lobby Day
Come to Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 30 for an Emergency Lobby Day to undermine Congressional support for a war resolution from President Bush. We will provide training and Congressional packets for you and when you register, we will assist in scheduling meetings.

A war resolution will probably be introduced within the NEXT TWO WEEKS, and will be voted on before Congress is set to adjourn on October 4. With this vote timed close to the November 5 elections, Representatives may feel extreme pressure to approve a resolution in the interest of appearing patriotic. Meanwhile, real politics get pushed into the background. People of Iraq should not suffer at the whims of U.S. electoral politics. This needless war can be stopped. But your Members of Congress NEED to hear from you!

To read the details and register online go to http://epic-usa.org/lobbydays/ [3]
For more information call 202.543.6176 or email [email protected] [4]
If you are unable to make it to D.C. on 9/30, please call your Elected Officials that day or make an appointment with the district office near you.

This Lobby Day is a joint effort of the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), Peace Action, MoveOn.org, Women's Action for New Direction (WAND) and the Education for Peace in Iraq Center (EPIC).
