Tell Congress & President Bush:  Stop War on Iran!
/*

*Take Action Today - Tell Congress:
/No Blockade!
No War on Iran!/
*

As we write, Congress is on the verge of voting on  Congressional 
Resolution 362. (read text here 
<http://stopwaronirancampaign.blogspot.com/2008/07/congress-to-vote-on-war-resolution.html>)

This resolution, which has 220 co-sponsors 
<http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HC00362:@@@P> from both 
major parties, *demands that the President immediately impose a land, 
sea, and air blockade on Iran *to stop shipments of gasoline, and to 
subject all cargo entering or leaving Iran to stringent inspection 
requirements.  This would require a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

*Imposing such a blockade is considered an act of war*, and is clearly 
meant to escalate tensions and pave the way for use of military force 
against the people of Iran, with 'weapons of mass destruction' as a 
justification.  The resolution makes no mention of the U.S. National 
Intelligence Estimate report of  December 2007, which found that there 
was no credible evidence of an ongoing nuclear weapons development 
program Iran. 

A similar vote, cast in October of 2002, paved the way for the brutal 
invasion and occupation of Iraq, which has cost the lives of 1 million 
Iraqis and more than 4100 U.S. soldiers.

*This Resolution, which is paralleled by a similar Senate bill (S. RES 
580), could come to a vote at any time. * Congressional leadership has 
assumed that there will be little opposition to the resolution -   a 
staffer in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office said that it is expected 
to "pass like a hot knife through butter."  They need to hear from you 
today <http://stopwaroniran.org/petition.shtml> to let them know that we 
will not be silent as they initiate another illegal war in the Middle 
East using discredited lies about "weapons of mass destruction."

We must take action now to prevent another bipartisan rush to war.  _*
