Congress Votes on War with Iran
Jun 26, 2008
Dear Friend,
 |
| The Bush administration is bolstering its case for war by labeling Iran one of the greatest threats to American security. Sound familiar? * |
When it comes to Iran, it's not just Bush we need to worry about.
208 House Democrats and Republicans have co-sponsored a bill that approves an act of war against Iran.
Urge your Representative to vote AGAINST this provocative resolution!
As early as the second week in July, the House may vote on H.Con.Res. 362. This non-binding resolution demands that Bush initiate an international effort to prohibit petroleum exports to Iran and impose stringent inspections on everything entering or departing Iran. This could be construed as a provocative measure to impose a land, sea and air blockade on Iran.
Without United Nations authority, such a blockade would be an act of war. The Iranian response is likely to be the use of force to break the blockade, which could spark a chain of events leading to a broader war.
The drumbeats for war continue to get louder – even from members who oppose the Iraq war and should know better than to approve a blank check for Gerge W. Bush.
Urge your Representative to vote AGAINST H.Con.Res. 362.
The United States has tried war in Iraq – it didn’t work like the hawks thought it would.
Threats of force against Iran are not working. It's time to try strong, tough-minded diplomacy with Iran.
War with Iran will undoubtedly bring disastrous consequences. Do your part to help prevent it today.
Contact your Representative now!
Sincerely,
John Isaacs and Guy Stevens
