Peace Action Members Tell Congress: No Escalation President Obama is weighing a decision on General McChrystal’s request to escalate militarily in Afghanistan by sending 40,000 more troops. Some are saying that they want to wait and see what the President announces. But now is the time to have influence on the President’s decision, not afterwards when it is a done deal. That’s why we need Members of Congress to take a stand against escalation now. Visit NoEscalation.org now.

Accidental War with Iran
Peace Action and our friends at the National Iran-American
Council are proud to support bipartisan legislation calling for an "Incidents
at Sea" agreement with Iran introduced by Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and
Geoff Davis (R-KY). There is no version in the Senate; but, your leadership
could correct this issue.
You can show your support as well by sending a letter to your Representative.
