It looks like we have one more day to generate more phone calls and messages to our Senators against the FY 09 Iraq and Afghanistan Supplemental (HR 2346). The business on the Senate floor today will the Credit Card bill and then the confirmation of Gary Gensler.
Today, let's keep the switchboard busy with phone calls in opposition to the current ratio of 9-to-1 militarism vs. engaging and building civil society in Afghanistan.
Let's also start building pressure on the media to cover the opposition to the plan to dig in more deeply in the Graveyard of Empires. In addition to calling your Senator(s), please look for opportunity to get your message on this vote into another media - talk radio, a letter to the editor in your local newspaper, TV. This is good work leading towards the National Media Day of Action on Afghanistan
This form is still working today: FCNL: Urge Your Senators to Oppose New War Funding. The find your Senators pull down menu always works on http://www.senate.gov/
Today is our last chance to voice our opinion on this bill, and to mobilize our neighbors and friends to call in opposition as well!
Thanks!
