Problem - War of Occupation In Iraq!
Solution - Energize a very large number of Citizens (Mainstream America - People like you and I) to join a nationally coordinated campaign that takes place on the third Friday of every month.
Objective - Inundating members of Congress with the demand they end this War of Occupation by contacting the LOCAL OFFICES of both the House of Representatives and Senators throughout our nation. If any Congressional member refuses or ignores this demand
from the majority of citizens in their respective district or Senator's state,
they risk being voted out of office this November.
What's Needed -
An "inspired and dedicated" citizenry that contacts their LOCAL Congressional Representative and Senatorial Offices either personally, or by telephone or faxing a letter - or does all of the forementioned on the third Friday of every month.
Growth - Every one of us contacts ten more friends, family, and neighbors to encourage their participation.
Follow Through - All members of the House of Representatives and Senate are clearly notified that they are to end this War of Occupation and not attack Iran or they will be voted out of office in their next election.
Volunteers - people are needed to telephone, blog, and contact other organizations, journalists, news media, etc.
Funding - This Campaign is non-partisan and non-profit by means of the Agape Foundation.
