[Peace] Register now for Iraq Senator meetings in IL (fwd)

[patton paul]

Moveon.org has arranged sessions where people concerned about the prospect
of war with Iraq can meet with their senators to express their opposition.
For this area, the session will take place in Chicago on August 28, and
will involve a meeting with Senators Durbin and Fitzgerald or their staff.
The details are in the forwarded message below.  I hope somebody who has
more time than I do will organize a group of people from AWARE to go to
Chicago and participate in this on behalf of all of us.

Subject: Register now for Iraq Senator meetings in IL

Dear friend,

We're happy to announce that you can register now online to participate in a
meeting with your Senator (or his or her staff) about the war on Iraq.
Thousands of us across the country will personally tell our Senators how
deeply concerned we are about the Bush White House's headlong rush to war.
Please join the effort.

The meetings in your state are:

Senator Richard J. Durbin
08/28/02 12:00 PM
230 South Dearborn
Chicago, IL 60604

Senator Peter G. Fitzgerald

As you know, our nation's leadership is split on whether to go to war.
While Donald Rumsfeld and President Bush wish to launch a "preemptive
strike,"  Colin Powell and even many of the top generals are against a war.
They know that the conflict will be dangerous and bloody, and that it could
take years.

Many Senators would like to speak up on this issue, but they're nervous that
their constituents will think they're being unpatriotic or "soft on
terrorism."  We can help them realize that we want them to ask hard
questions about the costs of this conflict.

Our country will decide soon whether or not it's going to war.  By
participating in a meeting with your Senator, you can help tip the balance.
