IMMEDIATE ACTION ALERT ON IRAQ

from PROGRESSIVE PORTAL

and GLOBAL EXCHANGE





Anti-war citizens and activists have just a couple of days to influence the outcome of the Congressional debate about Iraq. Congress is expected to pass a resolution next week ... and there is already evidence that a strong outpouring of anti-war sentiment is

having an impact, as members of Congress from both parties express skepticism about the broad war mandate sought by the White House.



Please take a minute right now to do the following:



(1) First, visit the Progressive Portal letter-writing page at:

http:\/\/www.progressiveportal.org\/letters\/global\/iraq\/indy.html<\/a>



In less than a minute you can send a message to Congressional leaders and members of the foreign affairs committees.



(2) Second, pass this alert along to your contacts.



(3) Third, display your opposition to war with peace flags, U.N. flags, Earth flags, anti-war posters, and other items. Proceeds make the work of Progressive Portal possible. See:



http:\/\/www.progressiveportal.org\/resources\/flags.html<\/a>



(4) Fourth, for more information, visit the Iraq campaign section of the Global Exchange Web site, and see the Iraq information links on Progressive Portal's links page.
