>Dear friend,
>
>The occupation of Iraq is sliding into war crimes and
>deepening violence against civilians.  We need to reach
>both John Kerry and George W. Bush with a simple
>message: bring our troops home, now.
>
>Do you agree?  Join our Unsilent Majority and send a
>letter to each of the major presidential candidates. To
>sign the "Two Letters from the Unsilent Majority," go
>to http://www.unitedforpeace.org/UnsilentMajority.
>
>For too long, pro-war voices have dominated the debate
>over the occupation of Iraq.  Now it's our turn. United
>for Peace and Justice, the nation's largest antiwar
>coalition, is mobilizing 100,000 people between today
>and June 25 to tell John Kerry: Speak out! We remember
>your leadership against the war in Vietnam, and we
>demand the same courage today.  June 25 is the first
>day of a weekend of protests organized jointly with Win
>Without War.
>
>We have to remind John Kerry of his famous plea from
>1971, "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die
>for a mistake?" We cannot afford a presidential
>campaign where there is no debate on the occupation,
>while a majority of voters support ending it as soon as
>possible.  He must take a stand. Write Senator Kerry at
>http://www.unitedforpeace.org/UnsilentMajority, and
>please pass this letter on to everyone you know who
>wants a real choice in 2004.
>
>To President Bush, our message is simpler:  Repent,
>admit your imperial folly, and end the occupation.
>
>As evidence mounts of systematic war crimes in Iraq, we
>have a unique opportunity to indict the Bush/Cheney
>administration for its arrogance and corruption.  If
>you want to speak truth to power, here is a special
>opportunity to speak directly to the President.  Write
>George W. Bush at
>http://www.unitedforpeace.org/UnsilentMajority .
>
>We cannot reach 100,000 people by June 25 without your
>help. We need everyone who receives this appeal to send
>it on to their friends, family and co-workers.
>Together, we can tell both of these political leaders
>that we are not--and will never be--silent.
>
>Are you part of the Unsilent Majority?  Then join us.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Danny Glover Susan Sarandon Howard Zinn Leslie Cagan,
>National Coordinator, United for Peace and Justice
