>>At 12 noon on Wednesday, April 14 at least fifteen people from 
>>military families, including those who have lost loved ones in the 
>>war in Iraq and those whose loved ones are currently in Iraq, as 
>>well as several Vietnam Veterans and Iraqi Americans will 
>>participate in a press conference in Washington, DC organized by 
>>United for Peace and Justice. Following the press conference the 
>>delegation will walk to the White House to deliver their message: 
>>it is time to end the war, end the occupation and bring the troops 
>>home! One flower for each of the U.S. servicepeople and thousands 
>>of petals for the countless Iraqis who have all died this past year 
>>will be left at the steps of the White House. Hundreds of letters 
>>from military families around the country, all calling for an end 
>>to the senseless deaths, will also be left for the president.
>>
>>Speakers at the press conference will call on people around the 
>>country to immediately contact their Congressional Representatives 
>>and demand that they take action to end the war in Iraq. Now, this 
>>week while Congress is still in recess and members of Congress are 
>>home, is the time to contact them:
>>
>>try to get an appointment to meet with your representatives in the 
>>next few days
>>flood their offices with calls and faxes
>>set up an informational picket or vigil in front of their offices
>>
>>It is also critical to keep the pressure on the White House. 
>>Tonight, just the 3rd time during his presidency, George Bush will 
>>hold a live press conference. Let him know what you think about 
>>what he says. Call the White House comments line at 202-456-1111 or 
>>the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414. Let's make sure the 
>>White House knows what we think!!
>>
>>If you are planning any public activities (protests, educational 
>>events, visits to elected officials) please be sure to post the 
>>information on the UFPJ web site's calendar at:
