Lobbying Tips - beginning
Lobbying Tips
Close to 1000 people filled the halls of this huge high school in Bethesda, Maryland in preparation for lobbying to end war NOW.
Mandate for Peace – the people have spoken loudly & clearly – despite machine fraud, voter disenfranchisement, despite all the months and years of desperation and disempowerment. We want war OVER and we are counting on you to make it happen.
Sign on to HR508 – all troops, safely & orderly, home by 6 months; revoke the blanket permission congress gave bush to go to war; reparations for Iraq; quality care to adequately meet returning veterans needs.
Democrats who fall under the Republican spell that says if you don’t vote for money for war you are against the troops: FALSE
You are voting for only one of 2 choices: either you vote give money to continue war; or you vote to spend money to bring home the troops NOW.
Plus, ask if s/he knows the break-down of the military funding??? Less than 10% or something like that actually goes to soldiers themselves – most of it goes to the military industrial complex to fund Halliburton, Bechtel, etc. – private contractors. We know there are over 100,000 private contractors in Iraq & we all know how much $$$ they make compared to our soldiers.
Chaos will ensue if we pull out!
In 2003, after bush announced “mission accomplished”, we were told we HAD to remain in Iraq to prevent Civil War – a war that has NEVER occurred in Iraq. For 3 ½ years we remained, killing & being killed.
Now we’re being told, we HAVE to remain in Iraq because there is Civil War. And we remain killing and being killed.
Chaos is already happening in Iraq – the ONLY difference we are POSITIVE of, when we pull out, will be U.S. soldiers and contractors lives will NOT be at risk.
How many U.S. deaths, how many deaths of women, children, men in Iraq are you willing to sacrifice?
Democrats: You told us for 4 years your hands were tied because you were not in the majority. When you were in the minority, you chose not to embrace any other democratic rights that you have, as boycott, sit-in, etc., to end this war.
Now you are in the majority – the time for analyzing, setting ‘markers’, continuing this war in any way, is OVER. We want to know, are you going to ensure the will of the people is enacted immediately?
