Our Davis Democratic Club passed overwhelmingly a year ago our own
resolution to not support a policy of our continued  military occupation of
Iraq, even by Democratic candidates. Please phone tollfree.

Subject: Today is Call-In to Congress Day (pass it on!)

 
 
Today (Tuesday) is our day to lead in the unified phone campaign to get
Congress to finally stand against Bush¹s unending war in Iraq.
 
In the last few hours, we¹ve learned of a possible amendment to Bush¹s
supplemental Appropriation request for $93 billion more for Iraq.  The
amendment, written by our allies, would call for a fully-funded withdrawal
of U.S. troops within a set timetable.  This would mean that a vote for the
appropriation would be a vote against the war.  This is an exciting
development ­ a longshot, but worth fighting for.
 
So when we call our Congress members today, ask them to support a
³fully-funded withdrawal with timetable² amendment to the Iraq supplemental.
But if such an amendment is NOT adopted, insist that our Representatives
vote NO on the supplemental.
 
Our special toll-free number into Congress is 1-888-851-1879.  Mobilize all
PDA members and supporters to phone their Congressional offices today.
 
Don¹t stop after calling your own Representative.  To ensure that a
³fully-funded withdrawal² amendment comes to the floor for a vote, contact
one or two members of the Democratic leadership: Rep. Louise Slaughter (NY),
Chair, Rules Committee (which decides whether amendments get to the floor);
Speaker Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD); Rep. Rahm
Emanuel (IL); Rep. James Clybourn (SC).  Make your call(s) toll-free
l-888-851-1879 -- or call 202-224-3121.
 
Each day until March 13, different national groups in our alliance are
coordinating phone calls to Congress.  Today, Tues., March 6 is PDA¹s day.
(March 7 --  CodePink/Global Exchange; March 8 ­ GSFP; March 9 - Peace
Action; March 12 ­ UFPJ; March 13 - All groups together!)
 
                                        ***
 
After you¹ve done your phone calls, please listen to the new podcast: Rep.
Lynn Woolsey Talks to PDA <http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=1009> .  This was
recorded last week.  Congresswoman and PDA Advisory Board member Lynn
Woolsey discusses the key role PDA is playing on Capitol Hill and across the
country -- and the need to say ³No² to the Iraq Supplemental.
 
Woolsey also tells Tony Trupiano about the short term future of HR 508,
end-the-war legislation.  Please share this Podcast with other activists. If
you don¹t think PDA is making a difference, listen to Rep. Woolsey.

Please take a minute to share with us how things went with your call!
