Mothers of Fallen Soldiers Demand That Bush Level with Them

Help Pour on the Pressure by Supporting the Great Work of
Gold Star Families for Peace

The tide is turning against support for the Iraq War. Now's the
time to generate attention, and here's an important way to do
it.

We've known from the beginning that America's attack on Iraq was
unnecessary, ill-advised and just plain wrong. Finally, surveys
show that the rest of America now agrees -- the latest polls
show most citizens do not feel safer with the war in Iraq and
most now agree we should get the troops back home within the
year. Now is the time to push that message home harder than
ever.

Please contribute to push that message now:

The most effective spokespeople for bringing the troops home are
the mothers, fathers and family members of soldiers killed in
Iraq, who are demanding to know why President Bush sent their
sons, daughters, husbands and wives off to die. Cindy Sheehan,
whose 24-year-old son Casey was killed last year in Sadr City,
has drawn international media attention with her brave vigil
outside Bush' ranch in Crawford, Texas 2, on behalf of Gold
Star Families for Peace. Our support will allow her to keep it
up and help her group take the action to the next level.

President Bush plans visits around the country during his
five-week vacation, hoping for friendly media coverage away from
Washington. But a member of Gold Star Families for Peace can dog
him wherever he goes, demanding he meet with them to explain why
their family members are dead. Our media advisors tell us this
will build more support for ending the Iraq quagmire.

If we can raise $50,000, we can keep members of military
families on the president's trail throughout the summer. You can
keep this story in the news and keep the tide in this country
turning against this war.

This is a crucial moment. Let's seize it and hand a giant
megaphone to our best voices for peace.

Please contribute to get their voices heard:
