Stop This War and Prevent the Next One!
Call your Senators NOW! The Webb Amendment to prevent an attack on Iran has been introduced in the Senate. The Senate could vote on weather or not to include this important provision in the 2007 supplemental war appropriations in the next few days - definitely before Friday March 30th.
Tell them to:
- Bring our troops home from Iraq in 2007
- Support the Webb Amendment in the 2007 supplemental war appropriations bill
Call the Congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senator. You can also find your Senator's name and direct phone number at Congress.org. Feel free to use the sample script below - although you may also want to include some of Peace Action's talking points - when leaving your message with Congressional staff.
Hello, I am a constituent of Senator______. I live at_______. I want Senator______ to ensure that the 2007 supplemental war appropriations include the Webb Amendment to prohibit the use of funds for military operations in Iran. I also want the Senator to use the supplemental to bring our troops home in 2007.
As a country, we need to learn from the mistakes. This means being deliberative in future decisions to go to war and knowing that our troops don't belong in another country's civil war.
Thank you for your time, please pass my message along to the Representative and keep me posted on any further developments in war appropriations.
After your call please forward this important action to a friend!
