> Iraq remains a prime target.  Join others pledging opposition to the
> war against Iraq.  Sign the new Campaign of Conscience Peace Pledge to

> The House of Representatives is voting this evening (Wednesday) on
> HJRes.  75, which escalates the threat of expanding the "war on
> terrorism" to Iraq.  Our Congressional e-mail letter campaign (that we
> wrote about last week) has already generated more than 1200 e-mails to
> Congress and President Bush. You can still send the "Don't Invade
> Iraq" e-mail or write one of your
> own by going to http://www.capwiz.com/afsc/home/.
>
> 2. Letters to the Editor - samples and tips
>
> The Western Washington office of the Fellowship of Reconciliation
> provides a variety of sample letters that can be sent to local
> newspapers.  The site also features background and talking points on
> Iraq sanctions.  http://www.scn.org/wwfor/sampleletters.html.
>
> 3. Voices on Iraq updates
>
> In addition to updates from the Voices in the Wilderness delegation in
> Iraq,  our Voices on Iraq section (http://www.afsc.org/iraq/voices/)
> features a  recent article by Hans von Sponeck, former United Nations
> Humanitarian  Coordinator in Iraq, spelling out alternatives in Iraq
> to military action.  It identifies the international institutions and
> structures that are available for diplomacy.  The United States has
> consistently refused to open direct dialogue with Iraq and has
> downplayed the efforts of the Arab League and United Nations in
> establishing a legitimate forum for useful steps  towards resolution
> of this conflict.
