>Background:
>
>
>
>During the past few weeks members of TrueMajority sent over
>140,000 messages to Congress urging them to make sure that
>the United Nations inspectors have a chance to do their
>job before President Bush is allowed to drag us into a war
>in Iraq. These messages, along with hundreds of thousands
>of others, helped to build a substantial "no" vote against
>Bush's war. The pendulum is swinging back toward sanity.
>Even members of the Bush Administration are beginning to
>soften their rhetoric. Now we need to keep the pressure up.
>
>The action has moved to the United Nations Security Council
>where the five permanent members are now debating between
>two proposals. The first one, supported by Bush, would
>allow him to send in United States troops for any infraction
>he alone perceived in the inspections process. The competing
>resolution, supported by most of the other countries, would
>first call on Saddam Hussein to open his country to the
>inspectors. If he failed to comply, the Security Council
>could then authorize military action. This second resolution
>puts pressure on Iraq without giving President Bush the green
>light to go to war with just the slightest provocation.
>
>Click "reply" to fax President Bush and the leaders of
>France, England, Russia, and China. If you want to change
>the letter, or if you got this email forwarded to you,
>click this link and you can send your faxes from there.

>Letter to be Faxed:

>Dear [Name of Leader],
>
>As a Citizen of the United States and The World I write to urge
>you to support measures in the United Nations Security Council
>that continue to pressure Iraq to allow UN inspectors to do their job
>without any hindrance. I urge you to make sure that any
>resolution you pass in the coming days does not authorize
>any nation to unilaterally attack another without the approval
>of the Security Council. To do so would undermine the most
>potent weapon we have against the lawlessness we all fear,
>namely the rule of law itself.
>
>To that end I urge you to support the two step process currently
>being discussed in the Security Council and to oppose the
>single-step, hair-trigger resolution first introduced by the
>United States.
>
>An unnecessary war in Iraq would have terrible effects for
>people of Iraq and the world at large. I urge you to find
>peaceful solutions to the current impasse.
>
>Thank you for your attention.
>
>Sincerely,
>
