THURSDAY - EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO WAR
************************************
Dear friends,
On Monday evening, President Bush announced to the world that Saddam
Hussein and his family would have 48 hours to leave Iraq, or else
face U.S. military action. Hussein's son has since rejected Bush's
ultimatum, and now all signs point toward a U.S. invasion in 24-36
hours. Therefore, the Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative (PRC)
has decided to hold its Emergency Response Rally to Oppose Bush's War
on Iraq (which has been months in the making) this THURDSAY, MARCH
20TH at 12 NOON on the University of Illinois Quad.
Please join us and please forward this email widely. We still need
lots of volunteers to make this happen, so please email
prc at prairienet.org or call (217) 352-8721 to volunteer.
Lastly, please take the time to call your representatives and tell
them to stop the war:
-- Sen. Dick Durbin: (202) 224-2152
dick at durbin.senate.gov
-- Sen. Peter Fitzgerald: (202) 224-2854,
senator_Fitzgerald at fitzgerald.senate.gov
-- Rep. Tom Johnson: (202) 225-2371
rep.Johnson at mail.house.gov
Thanks,
The PRC
