"Iraq has done nothing to us, we have done horrible things
to the Iraqis."
-- Edward Peck, Former US Ambassador to Iraq (under Reagan)
Don't wait to watch "someone else" on TV stop the war. MAKE HISTORY AND BE
AT THE LARGEST ANTI-WAR MARCH SINCE VIETNAM!! TELL FRIENDS!!
Busses leaving from 150 U.S. cities!! www.internationalanswer.org
NO WAR ON IRAQ
NATIONAL MARCH
January 18, 2003
Washington D.C. & San Francisco
There are times in history when the action of the people
can make a decisive difference. Today, the Bush
administration officially announced that Iraq was in
material breach of Resolution 1441 and they also leaked to
the press the plan to go to war against Iraq sometime
around January 27. We believe that we can still stop this
war from happening. Thousands of innocent people in Iraq
and an unknown number of U.S. GIs will die unless we can
stop Bush's war plans.
The Bush Administration is coming under increasing
pressure as anti-war sentiment grows and it is confronted
by outspoken U.S. opposition. Evidence of this is clear in
the Los Angeles Times poll released on Tuesday, December
17. 72% of the people surveyed, including 60% of
Republicans surveyed, said the President has not provided
justification for starting a war against Iraq. The new
poll reflects a dramatic reversal from a year ago when
Bush first denounced Iraq in his "Axis of Evil" speech at
the State of the Union address last January. At that
time, the L.A. Times poll found support for military
action greater than 70%.
The L.A. poll numbers represent a dramatic shift in
opinion. It is the work of the anti-war movement that is
making the difference. Millions have participated in
demonstrations, rallies and teach-ins. Hundreds of
thousands of people have voted at VoteNoWar.org or signed
petitions in their neighborhoods, worksites and schools.
The efforts of all sectors in the anti-war movement are
making a difference.
Bush is rushing headlong towards war trying to outpace the
growing anti-war movement before it becomes an
insurmountable obstacle to his plans for war.
MAKE YOUR PLANS NOW
for the January 18, 2003
National March on Washington:
No War on Iraq!
Buses have been organized from over 150 cities already for
the massive January 18, 2003, National March on Washington
that will first rally on the National Mall between the
White House and the U.S. Capitol (west side), and then
proceed from the U.S. Capitol to the U.S. Navy Yard, a
military installation in Southeast Washington DC that will
supply and service the war and at which weapons of mass
destruction are believed to be maintained. The submissions
in the People's Anti-War Referendum will be brought to
Washington, D.C. for this historic event, which coincides
with the Martin Luther King, Jr. anniversary.

THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE THIS WAR
We are releasing now, in advance of the January 18 mass
demonstrations in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, some
of the views and thoughts that voters submit when they
Vote No to War in the Peoples' Anti-War Referendum. Visit
the VoteNoWar.org web site now at http://www.VoteNoWar.org
to see a scrolling view of some of the thousands of
comments reflecting the deep and passionate opposition to
the war that exists throughout the United States and
around the globe.
These comments are a window into the hearts and minds of
people across the United States who oppose this war drive.
People from all walks of life, from every state, from
rural and urban areas, from conservative areas to
traditionally progressive communities, have all voted
against the Bush Administration's war against Iraq. Stop
by the VoteNoWar web site and hear the voices of:
- A 91 year old woman from Roseville, CA who sends her
personal message to George Bush of opposition to another
Vietnam War
- A Gulf War veteran from Havelock, NC with 15 years of
U.S. Marine Corps service who opposes another war for oil
- A 60 year old retired school teacher from Geneva, OH who
dedicates her time to resisting the war
- A soldier from Junction City, KS who wants peace so that
his wife and family can stop worrying for his life
- A fire fighter from Albany, NY who wants the government
to fund healthcare, education, and protection of
communities and not fund this war
- A U.S. Naval officer serving in Kanoehe, Hawaii who will
not re-enlist rather than participate in a war of
aggression
- A high school freshman from Baltimore, MD who was so
moved by the speeches from A.N.S.W.E.R.'s October 26th
demonstration that he is contacting friends and family
about the Peoples' Anti-War Referendum
- A 53 year old single mother from Cary, NC who wants
jobs, not war to be the focus of the executive branch
- A doctor from Fountain Valley, CA who objects to
imperialist war
- A single mother from Safety Harbor, FL who worries for
her 13 year old son's future
Too many politicians, the corporations and the mass media
have all worked to convey the false impression that the
U.S. speaks with one voice, that of George W. Bush. The
VoteNoWar campaign and the massive demonstrations
organized by International A.N.S.W.E.R. provide a
high-visibility and international platform for the voices
of opposition to the war.
We are hearing countless stories from people who take
stacks of blank referendums to collect signatures in their
communities and are running out of the referendums in
short order. Many of the people reached by the VoteNoWar
Campaign are new to activism or have never even engaged in
political action or a demonstration before. As the
Campaign brings people into contact with others, including
friends, neighbors and co-workers who oppose the war, it
defeats the media and government hype that there is
consensus for Bush's war drive.
A Voter from Plainfield, IL writes,
"I don't support Bush's war . . . I wish he would stop
using the term 'the American People' because we do NOT
support him! We didn't even vote for him!"
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We are an all volunteer coalition, and we need your help
to sustain this important campaign and to build for the
January 18th mass demonstrations in Washington D.C.
If you can help with a donation, then please donate. If
you can come to the January 18, 2003, National March on
Washington or joint action in San Francisco please come.
If you can go to the demonstration and make a generous
financial contribution, then do both.
This war can be stopped by a peoples' movement, just as
grassroots democracy was a critical force in stopping the
Vietnam War and advancing the civil rights struggles of
that same period.
As you make your year-end contributions, please consider
the VoteNoWar campaign and make a donation to support the
anti-war movement. You can make a tax deductible donation
at http://www.votenowar.org/donate.html, or by mail today.
