*Nationwide Protests This Thursday*

TIME FOR A SURGE OF OPPOSITION TO BUSH'S WAR ESCALATION

Hard to believe, but in a primetime televised speech on Wednesday evening,
President Bush will announce his plans to send more troops into Iraq. We
don't know for sure, but he could be planning to send at least 20,000 more
troops, and the numbers could be even higher.

Whatever the numbers are, the Bush administration is once again moving in
the wrong direction. In November the voters elected a new Congress with a
clear mandate: End this war! The people of this country want the war to end
and we do NOT want more troops sent to Iraq.

*We need to act quickly and in large numbers to oppose this escalation**.*

United for Peace and Justice has joined an effort initiated by Win Without
War and True Majority to encourage as many local actions in communities all
around the country this Thursday, the day after Bush announces his plans. We
need to be visible and vocal. Our message must be heard by the White House
and by the Congress. NO more troops, end this war now!

Take a moment right now to find out what's already planned in your
area.<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=262738508&url_num=4&url=http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/truemajority/event/distributedEventSearch.jsp?distributed_event_KEY=242&tag=>And
if you don't see anything listed yet, then plan your own activity and
be
sure to list it. It's very easy to host something and a lot of the legwork
has already been done, including compiling an event organizing kit with
resources and tips for making your activity a success.

*This wave of activity all around the nation on Thursday can be a critically
important opportunity for helping to get the word out about the Jan. 27-29
mobilization in Washington,
DC<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=262738508&url_num=5&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/>
.* Momentum is building for what promises to be a politically crucial
demonstration. People from all around the nation will be gathering in
Washington to send the strongest message possible: It is time to bring the
troops home; it is time to end the war in Iraq!

There is still much work to do in these last few weeks. *Most importantly,
we need to make sure everyone knows this demonstration is taking
place.*Imagine how you'll feel in the days following the mobilization
when people
tell you they would have also been in Washington if only they had known
about the mobilization! Let's now use every opportunity, every opening we
have to spread the word.

   -

   At your SAY NO activities on Thursday, be sure to have leaflets about
   the January 27-29
mobilization<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=262738508&url_num=6&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=3437>
   .

   -

   In any press work you do on Thursday, be sure to mention that the
   march on Washington on January 27th is the next major action of the antiwar
   movement.

   -

   Organize a phone bank, a day of leafletting, call-ins to radio talk
   shows and anything else you can think of to get the word out.

It's also important that we organize as many people as possible to stay in
Washington, DC, for the *national Congressional Lobby Day on Monday, Jan.,
29th*. You can find out more about this timely effort and how you can get
involved by clicking

Please be sure to let us know if you are organizing transportation from your
area to Washington, DC. You can add the information about buses, trains, car
pools, etc. on to our transportation board on the UFPJ
website.<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=262738508&url_num=8&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/ride.php>We
need this information as soon as possible ... thanks!

Finally, we appreciate the financial support that many of you are giving to
this effort. At the same time, there are tremendous expenses involved in
putting together such a massive event. If you have not donated yet, please
consider doing so right
now!<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=262738508&url_num=9&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/donate>The
money you send today will immediately be put to good use. Thanks so
much.
