Subject: Help stop Bush's escalation in Iraq

 

Dear friends,
 
Just when we thought the war in Iraq couldn't get any worse-it has. Last
night, President Bush rejected reality, spurned the American people's
verdict, and announced his new policy: military escalation in Iraq.
 
The newly elected United States Congress has the power to stop this madness,
but it's critical to show immediate, unified opposition from the
international community.

So MoveOn is helping launch Avaaz, a new international partnership to
mobilize progressive global voices. We're starting with an emergency
worldwide petition to the U.S. Congress and a powerful full-page ad in "Roll
Call"-the Washington DC newspaper read by every member of Congress and their
staff.

Click below to see the ad and sign the petition:

After years of failed occupation, it's clear to everyone but George Bush
that the US cannot solve this civil conflict through force. As Bush's own
top military advisors and commanders in the field have said, sending tens of
thousands more American troops will only fan the flames of this war.

World opinion matters: The American people understand the US can't police
the globe by itself. That's why, before the original invasion, Bush worked
so hard to promote the involvement of Tony Blair and a few other select
world leaders to win over reluctant members of Congress.

Today, Bush stands completely alone-but it's our job to bring this point
home in Washington. The ad in Roll Call highlights Tony Blair's decision to
withdraw troops in direct opposition to Bush's proposed escalation. And the
petition will help show where the global public stands.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/iraq_campaign_jan_2007/

The Bush administration is already twisting arms and doing everything it can
to push this escalation through. Congress may yet find the courage to
resist-if we help them-but there's no time to lose.

Add your name to the petition. Spread the word to your friends. The Iraq
crisis is a global problem. Together we have the power, and the
responsibility, to help change course.
 
Sincerely,

-Eli Pariser
