Peace Movement ... Demanding Debate on Iraq in Congress.

"United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) has organized a coalition of organizations, all of which are asking their members to phone their US congressmen on Wednesday, June 7, to urge them to sign a Discharge Petition that would force, for the first time, a full and open debate on Iraq on the floor of the House of Representatives."

(snip)

"The Discharge Petition, H. Res. 543, currently has 122 signatures, including five Republicans. If 218 Congress members sign it, a bill on the Iraq War will be forced to the floor, and a 17-hour debate will ensue, with the time evenly split between parties, and with an "open rule," meaning that all amendments can be offered, debated, and voted on."

We all need to support this effort. Call your Congressman today. If you need contact information, follow this link: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/
