Dominican Call-In Day on Iraq
May 29, 2006 -- In remembering this Memorial Day
the many lives lost in war, we are reminded of our commitment as
Dominicans to peace in Iraq.
On Thursday, June 1 call your Members of Congress
to thank them for calling for an end to US bases in Iraq and ask
them to take the next step for peace in Iraq by having Congress
enact new legislation that:
• states that U.S. policy is to remove all U.S. military troops
and bases from Iraq;
• outlines a plan to bring U.S. forces home before the end
of this administration; and
• provides resources for reconstruction through appropriate
multinational, national and Iraqi agencies.
Ask to talk with the legislative aide involved with Iraq. If you
get his/her voice mail, leave the message you want to say.

Please call you members
of Congress on Thursday, June 1st. Ask them to take the next step
for peace in Iraq.
Background
The U.S. Congress is now on record opposing permanent U.S.
military bases in Iraq. (FCNL)
On May 5th the Senate formally agreed
Now we need to help Congress take the next step to change the national
debate from “How does the U.S. win the war and then leave?”
to “How can the U.S. military withdrawal win peace, open the
way for reconstruction and for greater stability for Iraqis?”
Events in Iraq and changing public views of the war at home are
creating new opportunities to change. Members of Congress may consider
new directions for U.S. policy on Iraq. Let’s put some pressure
on them to get going!
