The Time Has Come for Congress to End This War.
Join Us In a Nationwide Direct Action Campaign: The Occupation Project
We have reached a critical juncture. The administration is escalating the war in Iraq while making ominous threats against Iran. Staying in Iraq is not an option. The safe and expeditious withdrawal of U.S. troops needs to begin immediately.
Congress will soon receive a request for an additional $100 billion. Saying NO to that request is the most effective way we have to voice opposition to any escalation and to demand immediate withdrawal.
Our message to our U.S. Representatives and Senators is simple: If you vote in favor of any further war funding, we will occupy your office. And we will return again and again!
The case is clear: There is already enough money in the pipeline to bring all U.S. troops home safely and expeditiously. A vote to approve an additional $100 billion will lead to escalation and expansion rather than withdrawal.
Planning has begun and affinity groups will be forming. Affinity group formation and nonviolence training will be held on Saturday, February 3, from 10AM until 1PM in Tegeler Hall on the campus of Saint Louis University at the corner of Grand and Lindell.
