CODEPINK Women for Peace

June 1, 2006

Dear CODEPINK Activist,

The intrepid Molly Ivins recently wrote that she was fed up with "every calculating, equivocating, triangulating, straddling, hair-splitting son of a bitch" in Washington DC. "This is not a time for a candidate who will offend no one," Molly proclaimed. "It is time for a candidate who takes clear stands and kicks ass."

This stand was cogently articulated in an editorial in The Nation (http://www.thenation.com/doc/20051128/editors) calling for an end to the war in Iraq. It noted that the war has become the single greatest threat to our national security; that its human and economic costs are spiraling out of control; and that the majority of Americans want to see an end to the war.

But since the war continues to receive bipartisan support, The Nation took the following stand: "We will not support any candidate for national office who does not make a speedy end to the war in Iraq a major issue of his or her campaign. We urge all voters to join us in adopting this position."

Well, now you can. Thanks to a coalition of groups determined to make peace a major issue in the November 2006 and 2008 races, you can join other outraged voters by signing the Voters for Peace Pledge:

"I will not vote for or support any candidate for Congress or President who does not make a speedy end to the war in Iraq, and preventing any future war of aggression, a public position in his or her campaign."

Please sign now (http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/codepink/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=295) and encourage at least 10 of your friends, relatives, coworkers and neighbors to join (http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/codepink/tellafriend.jsp?tell_a_friend_KEY=839). Our goal is to get millions of voters on board so that peace becomes a powerful political demand that politicians cannot continue to ignore.

Here's to taking a clear stand against war and kicking ass (peacefully),
Allison, Dana, Farida, Gael, Jodie, Katie, Medea, Nancy, Rae, Samantha and Tiffany
