Dear Sisters and Brothers:   

    If bombs start falling on Iran, a world calamity will surely result. 
Yet this is a distinct possibility since President Bush has not taken 
the "military option" off the table - the exact same language he used 
just before the senseless attack on Iraq, hundre4des of thousands of 
Iraq deaths, over 4100 U.S. military deaths and $562 billion ago. 
Organized labor has shown its willingness to intervene to stop senseless 
wars, during the contra war of the 1980's (Labor Coalition Against 
Intervention in El Salvador, led by then ACTWU and AFGE, and more 
recently, U.S.  Labor Against the War

The Stop the War on Iran campaign is a coalition that has come together 
to call for local and regional demonstrations from coast to coast on 
August 2nd. Union officers, executive boards and rank-and-file activists 
can play a critical role in endorsing this effort and bringing the power 
of labor to these demonstrations.

    Please consider endorsing and supporting this campaign anyway you 
can. You can go to our website (http://stopwaroniran.org) and endorse 
the August 2nd actions, organize one of your own, or join one of the 
many that are being held across the country. Together, we might help to 
prevent another catastrophe for the world.

In Solidarity:
