CITTA' AMERICANE CONTRO LA GUERRA

* January 7, 2003 -- Press Release - American Cities
Say "NO" to War in Iraq
http://www.ips-dc.org/press/cfp.htm
USA cities are adopting resolutions opposing war on
Iraq. For a list of cities that have passed
esolutions, and more information on the campaigns
behind them, see:
http://www.citiesforpeace.org
Cities for Peace is a rapidly growing effort to get
City Councils and other civic bodies to pass
resolutions against a war on Iraq.
Civic and religious leaders, educators, peace
activists, business leaders and individuals from all
sectors are coming together across the country to say
"no" to Bush's call for war. We the people of the U.S.
are wary of a military venture against a country that
has not attacked us. We are fearful that a war will
lead to the deaths of
thousands of Iraqis and US troops. We see this as a
potentially dangerous distraction from fighting
terrorism and we are aware that such a war would have
devastating consequences on our city budgets and on
local capacity to meet the current needs of our own
communities in these difficult economic times.
We need to exercise our democratic rights by pressing
our local elected officials and other public
institutions to pass resolutions expressing the will
of local communities with regard to a war with Iraq.
It is imperative that local officials weigh in on
national
matters that will ultimately have enormous impacts on
our communities. Please join us! This website is a hub
to link the many City Council resolutions and
campaigns across the country. It is a testament to the
growing unease that people across the country are
feeling about Bush's preemptive strike policy and our
commitment to
cultivating a world based on peace and justice
