YOUR GOVERNMENT, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq, with other countries in their sights.
YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.

THIS MONTH’S LETTER: NO WAR AGAINST IRAN! We know that an attack on Iran is being planned and mobilized by the Bush administration, as reported in The Nation and Time Magazine. President Bush and several of his spokespeople have said "all options are on the table." This means everything up to and including the use of nuclear weapons—"portable holocausts,” as Daniel Ellsberg has called them. The consequences of this are horrific beyond description. We can’t just calmly wait for this attack to take place! WRITE or call your Representative and Senators Clinton and Schumer:
Local offices: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton Address: Federal Building 100 State St., Room 3280 Rochester, NY 14614 Phone: 585-263-6250 Fax: 585-263-6247
In Washington: Senate: Washington, DC 20510; House: Washington, DC 20515
Peace,
