Subject: No U.S. bases in IRAQvote pending  Act Now!

 
Please forward widelyŠ House to Vote on Lee Bill to Ban Permanent Bases in
Iraq 
Yesterday I emailed you with an update of my trip to D.C. and let you know
that a few things are brewing.  One of them has come to a boil!

Last night, as reported in this article
<http://pdamerica.org/articles/alliances/2007-07-24-16-18-35-alliances.php>
, the House leadership announced that legislation introduced by
Congresswoman and PDA advisory board member Barbara Lee to prevent permanent
military bases in Iraq and bar U.S. control over Iraqi oil resources will
come up for a vote on the House floor tomorrow, Wednesday July, 25.

Please act now 
<http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/alert/?alertid=10079901&PROCESS=Take
+Action>  to ensure its passage. Lee's bill, H.R. 2929
<http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/bills/?billnum=H.R.2929&congress=110
&size=full> , declares that it is the policy of the United States not to
establish any military installation or base for the purpose of providing for
the permanent stationing of United States Armed Forces in Iraq and not to
exercise United States control of the oil resources of Iraq and prohibits
the use of funds for these purposes.

U.S. presence is fanning the fires of sectarian and terrorist violence; a
permanent presence will only add fuel to the fire.  We need to send a
message that the U.S. military plans to leave, if there is to be any hope of
quelling the violence.

Please email your member of Congress
<http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/alert/?alertid=10079901&PROCESS=Take
+Action>  now and ask him/her to support HR 2929.
