>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.
