Dear friends,
Just when we thought the war in Iraq couldn’t get any worse – it has.
Last night, President Bush rejected reality, spurned the American people’s
verdict, and announced his new policy: MILITARY ESCALATION IN IRAQ.
The good news is that the newly elected United States Congress can stop
this madness. We’re launching an immediate campaign to let the Congress
hear from global voices – placing an ad with the number of signatures to
our petition in “Roll Call”, an influential political paper sent to every
member of the US Congress. Click below to see the ad, and sign the
petition:

With hope on behalf of Avaaz.org Team,
US readers can call their representatives in Congress and insist that they not support this move by Bush, and that they not fund his war. Polls show 80% of Americans are opposed to this escalation of the war. Phone calls to your representatives office in Washington are counted and can be effective. Most of us have unlimited long distance on our cell phones-this is a good way to use it. It’s helpful to mention that you vote and your zip code.
