Tell Senator Lieberman: No War in Iran!
Joe Lieberman is waving his sword again. On Sunday, he told CBS "I
think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against
the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq."
Upon hearing these words, our own Leslie Angeline, a CODEPINK
member from Santa Rosa, CA, decided to go on a hunger strike until Senator
Lieberman agreed to meet with her. Leslie, who recently returned from
a peace delegation to Iran, has made it her mission to prevent America
from attacking the country.
You can join us in solidarity by sending him an email along with this
picture taken outside Lieberman's office during our action yesterday.
We are holding up photos from Leslie's recent trip to Iran. Ask Lieberman
if he really wants to attack these beautiful people, this beautiful place.
Cut and paste the following message into the text box below, add your own words, and email
Joe Lieberman at Clarine_nardi_riddle@lieberman.senate.gov:

Dear Senator Lieberman:
Your call for military action in Iran is inflammatory and irresponsible. Attacking Iran would turn 70 million Iranians - the most friendly to the United States in the Muslim Middle East - into enemies. It would lead to retaliation against our troops in Iraq and retaliation against Israel. And it would fuel the flames of anti-American sentiment all over the world.
The American people want diplomacy, not war. It's time for direct talks between the US and Iran--without pre-conditions--on issues ranging on Iran's nuclear program to ways to stop the violence in Iraq.
We are very disappointed that you abruptly canceled your meeting with CODEPINK. Please reconsider. And remember, 70% of the Iranian population is under the age of 30. Let's not destroy their future!
Sincerely,
Your Name Here
