The inter-religious community in Washington, DC is sponsoring "Seven Days of Action" on Iraq. September 25 is the NETWORK/Pax Christi USA Lobby and Prayer Day. YOUR presence and voice are essential at this critical time!

If you do not live within traveling distance to Washington, DC - Pax Christi USA urges you to organize prayer vigils and/or legal peaceful demonstrations in front of local U.S. Senate (critical) and U.S. House of Representative offices. Please also arrange for a delegation to visit these congressional representatives with the message "No war against Iraq!"

We realize this is very short notice but we don't have to tell you how aggressively President Bush is pushing for authorization to wage war on Iraq. We had hoped once Iraq indicated it would accept UN inspections, we would have more time to organize but President Bush's agenda was not slowed for a minute. We need to rally NOW. The next 10 days are critical before Congress votes on a resolution. This is our chance, perhaps our only chance to influence the Senate vote.

Please call your Senators using the Capitol Hill Switchboard number: 202-224-3121. Or FAX a letter.

For more information, resources, message points, (and to send an email message immediately to your Members of Congress), please go to NETWORK's web page at http://www.networklobby.org If you don't have web access call 202-547-5556 ext. 24 or ext. 29.
