If You Live in Arizona CD 6

This came in my email this morning. If you can join in any way, please do so. I know these Republicans are pretty hopeless but encourage everyone who objects to this insane war not to give them a bye. They need to know what their constituents think and it's pretty likely that most agree with you that the Iraq war is a catastrophe that must end. Here's your chance to let your representative know.


Join us - As we visit Congressman Jeff Flakes Office! Wed Feb. 28th 11:30 AM


Representatives from the peace community in the East Valley including members of the End the War Coalition, Military Families Speak Out and Progressive Democrats of America have an appointment with Congressman Flake's staff tomorrow Wed Feb. 28th at 11:30. We know this is short notice but things are moving very fast and we are nearing the 4th anniversary of the War. Bush will soon be asking Congress for a $93 Billion supplemental funding bill to keep the war going for yet another year. We want to tell Congressman Flake - enough is enough ! Stop the War - Bring the troops home now. If you would like to be part of this delegation please e-mail or call me soon. You can meet us at the Congressman's Mesa/Gilbert Office at 1640 S. Stapley Dr. #215 at 11:15.
(his office is one of the buildings tucked in the back on the West side of Stapley between baseline and the 60)
We know that all of us can't be part of the delegation but the rest of us can make calls -

Washington D.C office - 202-225-2635 Mesa / Gilbert office - 480-833-0092

so, please call Jeff Flakes office this week - and tell his staff representative - Bring the troops home, De-fund the War, Redirect Funding to Social Programs - clearly ask -

1) will the Congressman support and become a co-sponsors of H.R. 508 - (Lynn Woolsey and Barbara Lee - D-Ca.)

2) will the Congressman support and become a co-sponsor of H.R. 746 - (Jim McGovern D-Mass.)

3) will the Congressman vote no on Bush's upcoming $93 Billion supplemental bill to continue funding the war.

Both H.R. 508 and 746 call for ending the war and occupation of Iraq by de-funding war and fully funding the safe and orderly (over six months) redeployment of our troops back home. The President has left the Congress few alternatives other than to use the power of the purse spelled out in Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution to curtail U.S. military operations in Iraq. We hope Congressman Flake will make history, break with the hawks in his Party and distance himself from George Bush and his failed policy.
