Dear All,
This is Women for Peace at work,
a reputable group - please sign this if it grabs you and send it on.
It is
amazing how much never makes the news!
Thanks, Kathy
A
25
Congresswomen in the US House of Representatives have walked out --
and
refused to participate in the vote to give Bush war powers.
They were led by
Barbara Bell of
California
and they took up residence
on the White House
lawn.....
They say women can change the world. Here is a chance!
A
nationwide effort to unite women against war has drafted the statement
below and asks each of us, if we are so moved, to send it out
to as many
women and women's groups as we can for
endorsement.
Please cut and paste this message into a new message, sign it
with your own
name, and forward it with the petition
on to as many people as you know. If
you are the
50th, 100th, 150th, 200th, etc., person to sign the petition,
please also e-mail a copy back to: <pramila@mindspring.
PETITION
Women
United Against War
As women embracing life and peace, we declare ourselves
opposed to any
military action against
Iraq. As women,
we have been the victims of many kinds of
violence.
We call on you in Congress to oppose any military action.
We make this
demand for ourselves, our children, our parents, our brothers,
husbands, partners and friends.
We make this demand
because we understand that warfare
creates endless
cycles of violence, destruction and death, impoverishing us
spiritually and economically.
We make this demand because
warfare destroys family life,
throwing whole
communities into exile and turning children into orphans. We make this
demand because we cannot build happy lives on a ground
polluted by violence. We believe this
is a defining
moment in the life of our country. We will either take our place in the
family of nations as seekers of peace and justice or we will
start down a terrible road to war,
unleashing the
fury of generations to come on our land.
We call upon you to act with
integrity, to show courage and remember that
you are
guardians of the public trust and of the world we leave to our children.
We
oppose this war.
We oppose all elected officials who support this war. There
is no other issue greater
than the cause of
peace.
No past stand or history can be called upon to overshadow the
imperative to
stand today for peace.
We, as
women acting to shape public life, dedicate our energy, resources,
and hopes to those who establish peace.
There will be no
war in our names. If you want our support and votes, stop
this war!
