*Stop $33.5 Billion for War Escalation*

The Senate is voting now, the House Appropriations committee tomorrow,
and the full House after June 7. This means we need to be phoning
senators today. But the House remains our best chance. So call these
members of the Appropriations Committee now. And call your own
representative this week, and plan to meet them in person next week.

*House Appropriations Committee Members to Call:*
Chairman David Obey (202) 225-3365
Sam Farr, California (202) 225-2861
Michael Honda, California (202) 225-2631
Marcy Kaptur, Ohio (202) 225-4146
Barbara Lee, California (202) 225-2661
José E. Serrano, New York (202) 225-4361

*How to reach your representative and your two senators:*
Capitol Hill Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Keep track of where your representative stands at
http://defundwar.org

*What to say:
*If you do not try to block the war escalation funding, I will try to
block your reelection in November. If you support peace, I will support
you. Please commit publicly to voting No, no matter what nice things
that could be passed separately are packaged into the same vote. Please
join the 58 congressional candidates from every political party who have
signed a statement against war spending at http://caws.us.

*Congressional Candidates Opposing War Spending Now Include Republicans,
Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and Socialists *

Fifty-eight congressional candidates and 20 activist organizations are
opposing any more funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and
inviting more candidates, incumbents, and organizations to join them.
The 58 candidates, from 25 different states, include 19 Democrats, 18
Greens, 17 Libertarians, 2 Independents, 1 Republican, and 1 Socialist
(and more may be added to the website <http://caws.us> by the time you
read this). Forty-nine are candidates for the U.S. House of
Representatives, and nine for the Senate.
