Day 8. 12/5/05 DRUMBEAT TO PEACE. letter writing

Hello all,

This is a request to join me. I will continue to hit people up for sending letters, emails, faxes...making phone calls and otherwise publicizing our deep protest of this war's continuation. In so doing, I've learned about some resources that helped me and could help you too.

If you go to the links below you will find some great connections to newspaper editors, state congress, tv stations, etc. Just tell them in a couple of sentences or more that we as a nation of people want OUR TROOPS HOME. THe idea is to get a gathering wave of more and more and more people registering their complaint with regularity.

It doesn't replace discussions in church or at work or in charity organizations. It doesn't replace protest rallies or showing up in public sessions of city council and protesting, but it will make a difference. We NEED to let the congresspeople and mainstream media know there is deep and abiding hatred of the continued killing and waste of U.S. treasury on a faulty war.

other suggestions: type in your state and .gov such as "oregon.gov" or "missouri.gov" to find other resources and contact info for your own state.

In addition, I will be continuing to put together my own offline list of resources for each state and national contacts. Please send an email a day. Or maybe email 5 people today. Or maybe call someone on Monday. Each person doing a little will accomplish a lot.

will push it back to the top again for afternoon before it crawls it's way downward in a slow death.
