Press Release:
Nonviolent Action, Feb. 20, 12:45 p.m. to End the Iraq War
Tuesday February 20th, 2007 at 12:45 members of North Star Veterans for Peace and others will return to the local (101 12th Ave. Fairbanks, Alaska) office of Senator Ted Stevens to reiterate the terms of the Declaration of Peace that was delivered on January 18th. We will emphatically urge Senator Stevens to:
Vote “No” on any appropriations that would continue or escalate U.S. Military operations in Iraq;
Call for rapid withdraw of all U.S. Troops from Iraq and the closure of all U.S. Military bases and installations there;
Work to establish a comprehensive plan for peace in Iraq, including support for an Iraqi-led reconciliation / peace process;
Oppose any “preventive” or “preemptive” war against Iran or any other nation;
Investigate and prosecute war profiteering; and last but not least
Provide funding for full benefits, adequate health care, and other support for returning servicemen and women.
In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King and Gandhi, some may be moved to acts of Peaceful Nonviolent Civil Disobedience. Civil Disobedience is not a requirement to participate.
Action initiated by: Voices for Creative Nonviolence Endorsed by: the Declaration of Peace, Alaska Peace Center, Veterans for Peace, CODE PINK, After Downing Street, Voters for Peace, United for Peace and Justice, National Committee for Nonviolent Resistance and others.
