Only
the People can stop the war...
Stop the War on Iran before it starts!
Money for Jobs, Healthcare, and Education, Not War and
Occupation!
* Stop War on Iran!
* U.S. Out of Iraq & Afghanistan
* No U.S. attack on Iran through Israel
* No to all U.S./NATO war threats
* Money for human needs, not war!
What
we do now can make a difference
We
must act now - as more U.S. warships are deploying to
the Persian Gulf, we have to mobilize to stop an ‘October
Suprise’ or any other attack on Iran- or any other
country. Politicians don’t stop wars - they create
them. The only force that will stop endless war in the
Middle East is a massive grassroots peoples movement.
We
need money for jobs and housing - not for another war
While
billions of dollars go to war, at home the unemployment
rate has the biggest spike in 23 years. Home foreclosures
and evictions are increasing; fuel and food prices are
through the roof. While the situation is growing dire
for many, Washington ’s cuts to domestic programs
continue - the coming fiscal year, beginning on October
1, will bring drastic cuts. A new U.S. war will bring
only more suffering.
Stop
War on Iran
Stop
War on Iran is an international grasroots campaign of
activists, scholars, clergy, veterans and other concerned
individuals, launched in February of 2006 to oppose
Washington’s campaign of threats, sanctions, and
demonization against the people of Iran.
Since
the launch of the campaign we have generated more than
1 million messages sent to President Bush, Vice President
Cheney, members of the House and Senate (from both parties),
members of the press, and oil company executives.
We
have also organized teach-ins and organizing meetings
across the U.S., and taken Stop War on Iran literature,
placards, and banners to every major national antiwar
demonstration as well as numerous local actions.
But
it is clearly time to turn up the heat. Threats against
Iran are growing daily, and the Bush Administration
has mobilized a massive naval presence within striking
range of Iran.
On
August 2, anti-war activists in more than 100 cities
voiced their opposition boldly in the streets. But we
must do more - as the threat of a U.S. attack on Iran
grows, we must do everything we can to build a grassroots
movement to Stop War On Iran.
In
the coming days, activists with the Stop War On Iran
Campaign will be traveling to Denver (August 24-28)
and St. Paul (September 1-4) to be on the streets during
the Democratic & Republican National Conventions.
We
are bringing placards, banners, and thousands of Stop
War On Iran newsletters. Thousands of activists will
be there - and we want to reach out to them to help
build grassroots opposition to Washington's bipartisan
agenda of endless war. If you are going to be in the
Denver or St. Paul area, let us know (http://stopwaroniran.org/contact.shtml)
and look for our banners and placards when you get there.
Also,
if you are able to help with the costs of preparing
literature, making placards and banners, and transportation
for Stop War On Iran activists, please consider making
a generous donation at http://stopwaroniran.org/donate.shtml.
In
the next few days, please consider if you can organize
a local September 27 action to Stop War On Iran, whether
it is a march or rally, speak out, picket, teach-in
- in cities large or small - what you do can make a
difference. You can list your action at http://www.stopwaroniran.org/sept272008volorgcent.shtml,
so other activists in your area can contact you and
get involved.
October
1 marks the beginning of a new fiscal year, with draconian
budget cuts at the Federal and state level . We need
money for education, health care, housing, and other
human needs, not endless war for empire!
