Stop the impending war on Syria

Americans Need To Self-Organize To Stop Military Attack On Syria

We have the power to stop the war in Syria, but must act immediately to do so.

There is still time to stop the Syrian War.  Americans need to self-organize rapidly to represent the views of nearly all Americans — only 9 percent of Americans support a military attack on Syria. Opposition to war on Syria is something that will unite American across the political spectrum.

Call the White House comment line now at 202-456-1111 or call 202-456-1414 to talk to an operator and say:
“I oppose military intervention in Syria.  Do not illegally attack Syria, illegal because Congress and the UN have not authorized it. War is not a solution.”
(It is hard to get through, but I finally did.)

Sign petitions, e.g. petition saying no to military intervention in Syria,  petition calling on Congress to act.

Demand Congress get involved with a full debate on whether a military attack on Syria is right. Congress is the branch of government that declares war, not the president.  Without congressional action, President Obama is violating the constitution and committing an impeachable offense.  Rep. Barbara Lee is right to call for a full debate in Congress before an attack takes place.

We hear a chorus from the White House that there is no doubt that Assad used chemical weapons.  While there may be no doubt chemical weapons were used, they offer no proof it came from Assad and commonsense shows an attack by Assad makes no sense and that the US, UK and rebels they support are more likely the source of the attack.  The administration is refusing to wait for a UN inspection, even though they are on the ground in Syria.  The last UN inspection of a chemical weapons attack showed it was US allies, the rebel forces, who used them not Assad.  The US needs to wait for the UN report, go to the UN Security Council for approval before attacking Syria.  Such an attack without UN or Congressional approval would violate international and domestic law.

And, most importantly, get some friends together and get out in the streets.  Many organizations are calling for protests, but we need to self-organize, locally, across the country to prevent this impending disaster that will result in the death of thousands and increased hatred of the United States.  Some are planning to go to the Obama speech on the anniversary of the I Have A Dream speech to protest his move toward war tomorrow.

Now is the time for action, self-organization and unity against war.  We can stop this war.  The American people do not want it and President Obama needs to be convinced he will be violating the law if he goes to war with Syria unilaterally.
