Contact Congress about Child sexual abuse in Iraq
http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/iraq/abughraib/151108.pdf
Here is the link to the testimony of an Iraqi citizen about rape and child abuse that he witnessed.


http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/

Here is the web site to contact congress and the senate. Write them and demand that this be addressed on the floor of the senate and the congress. Let them know, you know about it and that you want to see every single member of both houses denounce this behavior.

2. Terrific
We know that they know all about it already. But they think we don't know and when it become clear that enough of us do, they will have to talk about it.

3. I just called Senator Feingold's office.
I told his aide that anyone who has seen the photos and video and has not spoken out about it (i.e. Congress) is an accomplice to the rape of children.

And then I read out the web address character-by-character to the aide, so the Senator can look up the PDF.

Crossing my fingers and saying a little prayer for the kids.

10. If enough of us contact them and they start to worry about their next
election, they will HAVE TO talk about it. They will then be exposed if they do noy DO something about it.

12. Do you have Adobe Reader?
I couldn't open it either and I had to download Adobe reader.
Just type adobe reader into search engine. It take about 5 minutes to install.

15. Okay, I'll do it, but with a puke pedophile majority

I'm not sure what good it will do.

My guess is nothing will be done until we take back Congress.

16. If we don't make any noise...
...there is ZERO chance of being heard. At least if we try we have a chance. And those kids deserve a chance.

18. Google your Senators and Rep
It's easy enough to find them.

And you can call Congress toll-free at 1-800-839-5276 too.

24. You think they care?
These are the people that every day can stop the bush initiated killings/rapes/tortures in Iraq yet refuse to even investigate.

It's as pointless as writing a complaint to police who happen to moonlight as KKK members about a hate crime. Congress is complicit.

Sorry but it's upsetting we have such a pathetic and ineffective congress.

25. The American public is complicit if they sit and do nothing.
This is the least we can do... media contact list is good too... flyers to our fellow Americans are the best.
