A plan to stop Bush from dropping nukes on Iran
The Union of Concerned Scientists warns that dropping a nuclear bunker buster bomb on Iran could kill 3 million and cause radiation sickness in 35 million, spreading a radioactive cloud 1,000 miles - to India and Pakistan.

Numerous reliable sources confirm Bush is deadset on doing this -- unless we can persuade Congress to intervene and impeach him first.

Here's my plan for how to convince Republican Congressional members to support impeachment.

We must form bipartisan delegations of citizens to call and visit local office holders, business, civic and religious leaders of all parties. Surely there must be some sane Republican mayors, council members, ministers, and business leaders willing to oppose waging World War III. Many may also be ready to support impeachment over the president leaking classified documents outing a CIA agent and/or supporting illegal wiretaps.

It's time to urge support from moderate local Republicans and independents to lobby Republican members of Congress for impeachment to prevent nuclear war.
Tell your mayor, council member etc you will be campaigning against them if they won't join this effort. Back up your words -- be prepared to run ads stating their positions in your local paper. Go on radio talk shows and discuss the gravity of this situation. Put local leaders on the spot!

Impeachment must start from the bottom up, as a groundswell so great that it becomes impossible to ignore.

2. Thanks for the list.
Mine won't listen unless Republicans call in, unfortunately. But it's worth a try.

We need a prominent Republican to step forward and say this is wrong.

5. You could say your a Republican
and that you voted for them. When we are talking nuclear weapons no step non-violent step is bad. It wouldn't be truthful, but sometimes B.S. is the only way to get flowers to grow.

6. Egg Zac Lee!
This is not R v D but hey I don't want WW III.

Fun fact over 50% of the world's O2 is produced by oceans .... just a limited exchange of
nukes might kill all the algae that produce our Oxygen. Bush truly is mad if he goes after
Iran.

BTW could you blame a Iranian for hitting back at us with a hand carried dirty bomb if we
hit Iran?

8. He's also bringing on catastrophic climate change
by ignoring global warming. Take a Republican friend to see Al Gore's movie when it hits theaters in late May. I've seen the trailer. It'll make a believer out of the skeptics.

3. If the *bots don't think that the radiation blown into the atmosphere
won't eventually get to the US, they're deluded. We'll be poisoning ourselves.

This is absolute madness that makes "Dr. Strangelove" look like "My Pet Goat".

7. Well according to **, it's just all "wild speculation". And when the
pResident Armageddon does unleash nukes on Iran, will he address our "wild speculations" then? He's such a LIAR!
