Subj: Only One Day Left to Act on War Resolution SEND EMAIL~a4495u34649t0~ Date: 02-10-09 18:45:39 EDT From: [log in to unmask] (Union of Concerned Scientists Action Network) To: [log in to unmask] Congress votes on the War Resolution tomorrow. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BY NOON ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10! On Thursday, Congress is likely to vote on a resolution drafted by the Bush administration endorsing preemptive US military action against Iraq. If you haven't already taken action on the alert we sent recently, there is still time to tell your members of Congress to vote no. If the US goes it alone against Iraq, we could jeopardize the prospects for effective control of nuclear and biological weapons, and possibly increase nuclear dangers in the future. The only real solution to the problem of weapons of mass destruction, in Iraq and around the globe, is to establish strong international controls that are based on the rule of law, supported by the international community, and enforced by the UN Security Council. While it appears likely that the Bush resolution will pass, it is important that Congress hears the view of the majority of Americans: military action should only happen with broad international support, and after every other alternative has failed. TAKE ACTION TODAY! The best approach is to make a quick call to your representatives.
