10 Things to do to Protest the War on Iraq

1. Call or Fax the White House and Congress regularly about your outrage.
They are counting on the war to make those who disagree shut up. Refuse to
be quiet, and keep reminding them of the unnecessary carnage they are
responsible for, as well as demanding accountability for the wrongs being
done to US citizens and foreign nationals and visitors in the name of
Homeland Security and the many other outrageous changes promoted by the
Bush camp (Artic Drilling, shameful tax breaks for the rich). There is a
FREE number for contacting Senators and House members to express your
opinions on the war: 1-800-839-5276. For contacting George W. Bush -
White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 202-456-1111
or 1-202-456-2580 President at whitehouse.gov . Find out how to contact
your US Senator at
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
and your U.S. Representative http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.html

or Act for Change www.actforchange.com so you can respond to the need as it
arises.

A CITIZENS' DECLARATION

As a US-led invasion of Iraq begins, we, the undersigned citizens of many
countries, reaffirm our commitment to addressing international conflicts
through the rule of law and the United Nations.

By joining together across countries and continents, we have emerged as
a new force for peace. As we grieve for the victims of this war, we pledge
to redouble our efforts to put an end to the Bush Administration's doctrine
of pre-emptive attack and the reckless use of military power.

Stop Paying For War!

What Is War Tax Resistance?

It is impossible to conduct modern warfare without soldiers and weapons. Bu=
t
before governments can buy weapons and hire soldiers, they must first raise
the necessary money through taxes or borrowing. War tax resistance is
refusing to pay some or all of those federal taxes that contribute to
military spending.

Because there is no tax that goes only to the military, war taxes generally
mean individual federal income taxes and as well as some excise taxes
(e.g., the 3% federal excise tax on telephone service). Though a case can
be made to include Social Security, state, and local taxes, these are
generally not considered =93war taxes.=94

=93The two decisive powers of the government with respect to war are the
power to conscript and the power to tax.=94

Who will verify discoveries in Iraqi arsenals?

Tom Hayden

Anti-War Commentary

1. I live in Los Angeles where it is widely known, and officially
acknowledged, that the police routinely plant evidence like weapons and
drugs on arrested suspects. Am I wrong to suspect the same thing might
happen in Iraq? The Pentagon public relations machinery is prioritizing
the search for chemical and biological weapons in order to prove the case
they failed to make at the United Nations before the war. So it is urgent
to call for the media to ask more critical questions now and when the
"discovery" is announced. Here is some background:
