Oppose $33 Billion War Escalation This Week
The time has come. Call your representative in the U.S. House of Representatives and let them know that you will vote against them in November if they vote to borrow and spend another $33 billion to escalate war in Afghanistan: (202) 224-3121.
Then join in national Brown Bag Vigils on Wednesday:
In 109 Congressional Districts all over the country, people will be protesting on Wednesday at their local congress members' offices, urging them to commit to voting against $33.5 billion for escalating the war in Afghanistan, and to do so even if lots of other items are included in the bill. Currently an additional $30 billion is included to cover disaster relief, compensation for discrimination claims, and foreign aid.
Here's a flyer you may find helpful:

Organizations participating include Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), CODEPINK, WarIsACrime.org, the Backbone Campaign, Democrats.com, the California Nurses Association / National Nurses Organizing Committee, Healthcare Now, United for Peace and Justice, U.S. Labor Against the War, Labor for Single Payer. We have been holding Brown Bag Vigils on the third Wednesday of the month since January.
Invited to participate are tea party activists and anyone else who objects to unjustifiable government spending.
Brownbaggers are asking members of the House to publicly commit to voting No on any bills that fund wars, and to publicly urge their colleagues and the House leadership to make the same commitment. This position necessarily includes opposition to the proposed $33 billion supplemental expected in the coming days to fund an escalation of the war in Afghanistan.
