TO END THE OCCUPATION WE MUST SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT
ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/pnum320.php
This week Congress is taking up campaign propaganda masquerading as a debate on Iraq. The House measure put forward without opportunity for amendment, H.Res. 861, defies any member of the House to vote against a resolution that twice proclaims that we should honor our troops, and declares that any schedule to draw down our forces there must by definition be "arbitrary".
Our fallen service members deserve better.
The entire strategy of terrorists in the Middle East has been to engage us into fighting them "over there", driven by irrational and baseless fears of weapons of mass destruction, which the Bush administration has exploited shamelessly for the benefit of their war profiteers. There were no terrorists in Iraq to got to war AGAINST, except ones the Bush and Cheney themselves elevated by their reckless occupation. And continuing the occupation will just breed two more insurgents for every one they manage to pick off in a photo-op bombing.
But there are candidates for Congress who see through the charade, like Stacey Tallitsch, running in the Louisiana 1st district. Here is what Stacey has to say about the occupation:
There is just no other way to put this; it is plainly self-evident and clear. The War in Iraq is a complete failure. George W. Bush’s dream has wrought nothing but death and destruction to both the United States and Iraq.
Iraq is making terrorism worse. It's a breeding ground. We're sowing seeds to a bitter fruit we never wanted and certainly don't need. We need to leave as soon as possible without creating a regional war. We are not helping the Iraqis by staying. They are building their imperfect institutions and they must live with the result.
We need to get out of Iraq as soon as possible. And then we need to take quick action to hold those responsible for the greatest error ever perpetrated on America.
And here is Stacey's action page on ending the occupation:

There is absolutely nothing that would deflate the insurgency in Iraq faster than a definite committment to give the Iraqis back control of their own country, and they know it. It is only our foolish White House and the insurgents themselves who strive to draw us in deeper and attack even more Muslim countries.
THE CALL TO ACTION RADIO SPOT CAMPAIGN CONTINUES
Those living in Los Angeles know that since the L.A. primary challengers ran their call to action radio spots on impeachment, another group has now picked up the ball to run their own call to action spots on Air America Radio. Just as we promised, your donations have had impact beyond the elections themselves by raising the visibility of this issue. And Stacey Tallistch wants to do the same thing with the end the occupation issue.
So for those who are blessed to be able to do so, please consider making a donation so Stacey can start running his own call to action radio spots, to open up an issue activism front in Louisiana as well.
STACEY TALLITSCH DONATIONS: http://www.usalone.com/stacey/donations.php
And if you can't do that, there is something JUST as important that you can do to help, and that is to get involved in the virtual phone bank project. If you could just dedicate a little time to make 10 phone calls a week, to reach out to potential supporters of brave candidates like Stacey Tallitsch, and if we do this every week between now and November we can reach an amazing number of people with the issue activism message.
While we are setting everything up for Stacey, please assign yourself a Blades of Grass password, and it will be good at any of the virtual phone bank installations we will be doing, and we'll let you know where you are most needed.
BLADES OF GRASS SIGNUPS: http://www.usalone.com/bladesofgrass.htm
PARTICIPATE IN THE GLOBAL SUNRISE MEDITATION JUNE 21
One of our participants also asked us to publicize a special spiritual consciousness raising event. Here is their message:
We are conducting an e-mail and social network campaign to spread the word to as many people as possible. We are asking those who are interested to organize sunrise meditations in their area, preferably where they can see the sun rising. We have also contacted groups that are already doing events on Equinoxes and Solstices to include a sunrsie meditation in their gathering if they are not doing so already.
At very least, we are asking people to wake up for the sunrise and tune in for 10 minutes before and after the sunrise focusing their mind on a world in peace through unconditional love as well as invite 10 other people to join us in the meditation.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
