Letter to Democrats who support more occupation

Lobbying in DC

This week, I am lobbying in DC. I will be taking the following to all the Democratic Senators who voted for more war last month and I will take a copy to the NC Democratic Representatives who voted for more war last month also. I wish I could take one to every Democratic Representative who voted for this – but it was too many. If your Representative was one of them, feel free to copy and mail this off to them. I will be telling the staff person (or Senator or Representative, if I see them) that I want this occupation of Iraq to END NOW. I put my name and address on the back of every one. I included three photos on the letter – the one on this blog post and two others that I have linked to below.

Here’s the letter:

DEMOCRATS – TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK AT THE EVIL THAT YOU DECIDED TO CONTINUE BY FUNDING BUSH’S WAR

Home Invasions……..

Children murdered while sleeping…..

A U.S. military helicopter opened fire at a family sleeping on their rooftop, killing a mother and two children and injuring two other children, Iraqi police said. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim) The stain on the roof is blood. There was a lot more blood in the photo, but I cropped it out. A mother and two children were killed by the US military while sleeping. This is pure evil.

Children living in tent cities with no water, electricity, health care or schools…….pictured above.

Nine hundred families are currently staying in the tent city according to Red Crescent workers.
