Tuesday Is CALL IN Day on AGAINST THE WAR in IRAQ
I think DUer's should get behind this - the least we could do is make a phone call or two. Forward this information to your friends, flood those lines in DC.

On Tuesday, December 6, Congress will reconvene in Washington, D.C. – and United for Peace and Justice, in conjunction with Win Without War, is calling for a massive national grassroots call-in day against the war.

We have an extraordinary window of opportunity to press our position. The Bush Administration is on the political defensive as never before – witness Bush's very weak speech today – and every day calls for immediate withdrawal from Iraq are becoming more widespread

We need to flood every single Congressional office with phone calls, faxes and email messages urging an immediate end to the war! To make this day as successful as possible, we're asking you, our member groups, to do the following:

1. Send a note to your members today letting them know about the planned call-in day next Tuesday. Feel free to forward this message.
2. Download the leaflet from our website promoting the call-in day, and distribute it widely between now and Tuesday.
3. Forward our email alert about the call-in day to your email lists. We will send out an alert very early on Tuesday morning.
4. Plan to send a press release to your local media outlets on Monday, December 5, regarding the call-in day. (A sample release will be sent to you before then.) It is important that the media know about our grassroots efforts.
5. Organize a phone bank for Monday, December 5, to remind your members to call their Representatives and Senators the next day.

2. Yes, I'm in.
UFPJ is a good organization to get on board with.

4. Hey.....BELIEVE ME! I know what you mean.
my DRUMBEAT to PEACE posts I've been doing for 8 days with links to emails and phone numbers, etc. have elicited MAYBE a total of 6 to 10 responses across ALL of them.

I'm really not sure what is in the water.....but it seems like a bunch of people are sitting on their hands right now. I guess activism and dynamism for liberals only kicks into high gear in years divisible by 4.

5. at our monthly peace vigil on Saturday, someone had some
fliers to hand out promoting the call-in day. I am helping to advertise it locally, as well.
