[Peace-discuss] VITW

[Dlind49 at aol.com]

Dear friends, 

 We have been inspired by the incredible support around the country for Voices
in the Wilderness and others being prosecuted or threatened by the US Office 
of
Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)  for travel to Iraq.

For a copy of Vitw's Counter Claim, please visit 
http://vitw.us/archives/000374.html

To sign our petition,  or donate to '20,000 Voices', our pledge to raise 
another
$20,000 for aid in Iraq instead of paying the fines imposed by the US 
Treasury,
visit http://vitw.us/summons/archives/000359.html 

Below is a list of events taking place around the country November 14, 2004  -
Contacts and adresses are listed. 

We pledge to continue our travels to Iraq, our work against this war and
occupation, and we recognize  how it could not be done without all of you.

Peace

"We Will Not Go Quietly"

The U.S. Treasury and Justice Departments insist on pursuing charges against 
several individuals and groups that have traveled to Iraq.  We fully 
acknowledge that we have also traveled to Iraq and are standing in solidarity
with 
those charged.  We affirm the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens to 
speak 
freely, to have oversight of governmental policy, and to bring humanitarian 
assistance to its victims and tell the stories of their lives under sanctions,
war 
time, and occupation.  The ban on traveling was to prevent commercial profit 
to either the Iraqi government or businesses wanting to trade with Iraq.  The 
purpose of our travel was not to engage in any commercial ventures, but 
rather 
to help alleviate the suffering of our fellow human beings and to communicate 
the results of U.S. policy in Iraq to our fellow citizens. 

· We will not yield to the government's intimidation tactics that are 
designed to silence us.
· We intend to fully exercise our First Amendment Rights, and all of our 
treasured rights as United States citizens.
· We will not cease relaying the stories of our travels to anyone who will 
listen.
· We will continue to pursue paths of peace, understanding, friendship and 
compassion with the citizens of the world rather than paths of violence, 
death,

war and destruction.
· We ask all U.S. government agencies to vacate, in their entirety, any fines 
and penalties levied against groups or individuals who have traveled to Iraq 
for non-commercial, humanitarian purposes.
· We will not go quietly
