The Time to Stop a War With Iran Is
NOW!
As incredible as it might seem, the Bush administration appears to be actively planning a military attack against Iran.
GLNAWI members have pledged to keep this issue in front of our senators & representatives by calling and/or writing every week until they actively step up to their congressional obligations and check the war-making
of an executive branch out of control.

It is time to leave IRAQ!
Demand THEIR Leadership!
- No more funding of the Iraq War. Congress must express the will of the American people because the President seems incapable of doing so.
- Admit our mistakes in invading Iraq and seek the help of other nations in creating stability in the country. Security on the streets of Iraq is our responsibility, but American troops, perceived as occupiers, cannot provide it. Our military presence has inflamed and widened sectarian tensions and conflict.
- Turn all US bases over to the Iraqi government and military.
- Accept responsibility and pay for what we have broken. Reparations can take many forms, but should include footing the bill for security, e.g., paying for peacekeepers.
- Dramatically increase programs and funding to care for troops returning from the conflict to do our nations best to make them whole again.
