Bush Admin Suing Voice in the Wilderness

VOICES IN THE WILDERNESS

Dear Friends,

The US Justice Department is suing Voices in the Wilderness. Over the
past seven years,
Voices in the Wilderness has organized over 65 delegations to Iraq.
Comprised of teachers,
veterans, social workers, artists, health care professionals, trades
people and people of faith,
these delegations brought symbolic amounts of medicine to the people of
Iraq. We are
asking for 20,000 people to raise their voices against the injustice and
hypocrisy of this
lawsuit. Read more about our call for 20,000 voices at:
http://www.nonviolence.org/vitw/pages/newPages/SBsummons_call_for_voices.html
The Justice Department is choosing to launch an attack on Voices in the
Wilderness at a time
when Iraqi people and US soldiers are being routinely killed. The
occupying forces have
failed to provide security and basic humanitarian needs for the citizens
of Iraq. As a response
to Mr. Ashcroft, please sign on to our letter asking him to drop the
lawsuit against Voices in the
Wilderness: http://www.petitiononline.com/usvvitw/petition.html
.

We invite you to:
1) Write or fax Attorney General John Ashcroft by August 18th. Please cc
Voices in the
Wilderness by e-mail ([e-mail]) or fax [phone]).
2) Donate your war tax refusal or other donation.
3) Consult our website for suggestions about nonviolent direct action and
civil disobedience
that help dramatize our challenge to the Justice Department.
4) Organize a local media event, fundraiser, or symbolic event of
solidarity with VitW.
5) Write an op-ed for your local paper.
6) Offer your time, media savvy or legal expertise.
7) Arrange a speaking event for Voices in the Wilderness (contact
[e-mail]).

2. Amazing!

The Pirates of Enron cannot prove there was a real reason for the war...so they're suing people who said there was no reason?

3. Its an old trick

They sue the scientists who don't tweak their research to suit big business too.
Talk to your Public Relations team for further details on having things your way.
