Why
Come to DC on Jan 27?
On Election Day the voters delivered a dramatic, unmistakable
mandate
for peace. Now it's time for action. On January 27, 2007,
we will converge from all around the country in Washington,
D.C. to send a strong, clear message to Congress and the Bush
Administration: The people of this country want the war and
occupation in Iraq to end and we want the troops brought home
now!
This is the crucial moment to come to DC.
Bush will have just delivered his State of the Union
and the new Democratic-led Congress will just be getting into
gear. Congressional members and aides have told us that
this is the time to get into the streets and into Congressional
offices to keep the pressure on.
As Bush has announced that he will send thousands of additional
troops to Iraq, we must press Congress to end this war by
stopping its funding. We call on people from every congressional
district in the country to gather in Washington, DC -- to
express support for those members of Congress who are prepared
to take immediate action against the war; to pressure those
who are hesitant to act; and to speak out truth to those who
remain tied to a failed policy.
On Election Day people took individual action by voting.
On January 27 we will take collective action, as we march
in Washington, DC to make sure Congress understands the urgency
of this moment.
