To Join Us in DC Jan 27-29:



January 25, 2007

Dear Marguerite ,
We are packing our bags, jumping onto buses and trains and planes, flinging
our pink boas around our necks, ready and excited to bring our Women Say No
to War campaign to the streets of Washington, DC! 
Women will be a powerful force at the massive Mandate for Peace mobilization
this Saturday, January 27-before the march, too, when we will join with Jane
Fonda, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Eve Ensler, Q'orianka Kilcher, Rhea
Perlman, Mimi Kennedy, Congresswomen Lynn Woolsey and Maxine Waters, and
other amazing women for a colorful and rowdy Women Say Pull Out convergence.
We hope you'll join us! 
"I have been walking the halls of Congress this week with Iraq veterans to
help get them the health care and benefits they need and deserve. And I'll
be back on Saturday to join the anti-war march and encourage all Americans
to come out and engage. Let's show we really care about our troops by
bringing them home now and taking care of them when they get here."
— Susan Sarandon 

President Bush's State of the Union address only drives home why we need to
take to the streets this Saturday. As much as he spoke of "hope and
opportunity" for America's future Tuesday night, Bush is squandering our
truest hopes and opportunities by funneling so much money into an
unnecessary war.
This recent graphic in the NY Times highlights how recklessly our tax
dollars are being used. We are pouring $200 billion dollars into the war in
Iraq, while universal health care for everyone in the country without
insurance would cost just half that amount. Universal preschool would only
cost our country $35 billion. Immunizing the entire world's children against
diseases such as measles and diphtheria would cost $0.6 billion. 
We can't let this madness continue.
Join us on January 27 to say No More Funding for War! Bring Our Troops Home
Now! We will use our feet and our lungs and our signs and our outrage to let
Bush and our new Congress know that we are serious about ending this war. 
If you can't make it to DC, see if there is a solidarity event being planned
in your area. If not, create your own, even if that means standing alone on
a street corner with a sign! In lieu of lobbying, you can call your
Congressperson to demand they cut the funding for George Bush's War. Our
voices are powerful, wherever we may be geographically. We know peace is the
only real path to hope and opportunity for this country. Together we will
make it happen.
With peace and excitement,
Dana, Farida, Gael, Gayle, Jodie, Liz, Medea, Nancy, Patricia, Rae, Samantha
 and Sonia
