[struggle4progress]

~snip~ More than 100,000 Iraqis flee each month from the disaster that their country has become. It is estimated that 700,000 Iraqis have made their way to Jordan, and more than a million into Syria. ~snip~

This is a humanitarian crisis. And, by any honest measure, it is a crisis the United States created. Unfortunately, that does not mean that the United States is addressing it. ~snip~

U.S. officials need to feel the heat. And the time to put the pressure on is Wednesday, June 20 -- World Refugee Day. ~snip~ On Wednesday, the Education for Peace in Iraq Center plans to hand-deliver letters regarding refugee issues from citizens across the country to their members of Congress.

To write a letter, visit its Web site at www.epic-usa.org. ~snip~
