Please take pause ...
As we approach the ninth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, we once again see dangerous momentum for another irresponsible, unnecessary and costly war -- this time with Iran.
Fear-mongering and propaganda aside, Iran is not an imminent threat to the United States -- and we haven't yet exhausted all avenues for diplomacy to ensure Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon.
But as a result of the Iranian Revolution over 30 years ago, current law makes it very difficult for American diplomats to talk directly to representatives of the Iranian government.
That is why Congresswoman Barbara Lee has introduced legislation that, in her words, "directs the President to appoint a Special Envoy for Iran to ensure that all diplomatic avenues are pursued to avoid a war with Iran and to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon."1
Sign the petition. Tell your member of Congress to co-sponsor Rep. Lee's bill to avoid an unnecessary and costly war with Iran.
Whether or not you think your representative will co-sponsor the bill, we need you to speak out.
Unfortunately, while the American people are opposed to another war of choice,2 those pushing for war have been far more vocal and organized than the rest of us.
Our friends on the Hill have told us that congressional offices are hearing from people who want us to go to war, but not from those who would like to see a diplomatic solution.
Not only will your petition signature signal support for Rep. Lee's bill, it will also ensure that those howling for war are not met with a deafening silence on our side.
Iranian Revolution , a very good example of getting rid of buttface
then having to deal with a worse buttface
man, he looks familar don't he?
was asking only what avenues have not been tried
Mark Zuckerberg, rich beyond the dreams of everest
I've never begrudged people for making a honest buck or Big bucks
people who think they can take my money thru laws or regulation an do better then I with it
that I have a problem with.
Never gotten a job from a poor person, not once
whether one has a product or service they take to market
if it does well,
chances are a need for help will be forthcomming
and offer of a job helps another/others
they didn't start off to market thinking about hiring others
always been poor people, always been rich people
that'll never change
no matter what part of the world is talked about
helping those with a broken body /mind
that is a honorable item to be shure
problem is
Goverment is causing many broken minds
replacing self responsibility with food stamps
free this
free that
with a side order of more more more
before Goverment
people still lived and died
that hasn't changed none either
Not so much if but When America ceases to be
what will the people do then
lay down and die?
many will do just that
and then there will be others who won't
ok that's enough banter, least for my part
