>Stop Expanded War with Iraq.... 3 Important Steps
>
>The Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) needs your support NOW
>to help prevent an expanded war with Iraq.
>
>On Capitol Hill, members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are
>beginning to ask the tough questions that must be asked when a nation is
>considering war.  They are beginning to sense a groundswell of popular
>opposition to war.  An opening for critical questioning, debate, and dissent
>is beginning to appear.  By early October, Congress will vote to support or
>oppose this ill-advised U.S. military offensive.
>
>We can stop this war if you TAKE THREE ACTIONS TODAY to support FCNL's
>campaign to stop an expanded war with Iraq.
>
>1. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES NOW (and before October 1).
>Let them know that you oppose expanding the war against Iraq.  Urge them to
>ask critical questions at upcoming hearings.  For more information and to
>make letter writing easier go to
>http://www.fcnl.org/act_lam_current/actnow_lam_index.htm
>
>To read Joe Volk's letter to Congress opposing a unilateral, preemptive U.S.
>military attack against Iraq, go to
>http://www.fcnl.org/issues/int/sup/iraq_volk_ltr912-02.htm
>
>2. SEND A DONATION TO FCNL TODAY.  We have brought on additional expert
>staff to focus on Iraq war initiatives in the weeks ahead.  Your support is
>urgently needed now to help this critical effort.  Your donation will enable
>FCNL
>
>* to influence the policy debate concerning U.S. policy toward Iraq and the
>decisions made by Congress and the Administration,
>* to deliver a strong and substantive message of peace to the U.S. Congress
