Ed Hale encourages fans, friends, and citizens of the world who are sincerely interested in peace in the world to call the United States Congress and urge them to put an end to the White House’s fascist bullying stance currently being taken against the people of Iran. No excuses. The time is now. Goliath is going down.

Please share this as widely as possible!

Dear Friend of United for Peace and Justice,Fazio/Welch letter calling on President Bush to seek a ‘direct, unconditional, and comprehensive’ dialogue with Iran.Call the Capitol switchboard today:
202-224-3121U.S. intelligence agencies have announced their belief that Iran has no nuclear weapons program. Many in Congress, including some Republicans, have argued that the new National Intelligence Estimate should be the basis of a fundamental shift in U.S. policy toward Iran, away from military threats in favor of real diplomacy and engagement. But so far the White House has refused to change course. President Bush has said his aggressive stance toward Iran would not change as a result of the new NIE.Representatives Peter DeFazio and Peter Welch are sending a letter this week to President Bush urging that the U.S. seek a “direct, unconditional, and comprehensive” dialogue with Iran in the wake of the Iran NIE. Current signers include: Representatives Woolsey, Ellison, Kucinich, Doggett, Farr, Olver, Baldwin, Hirono, McGovern, Lee, Blumenauer, McDermott, Moran, and Wu.Help make this a stronger statement by encouraging your representative to sign this letter. Call the Capitol switchboard ASAP at 202-224-3121. The deadline for signing on to the letter is this Wednesday at noon.
