Anyone else doing Declaration of Peace activism?
http://www.declarationofpeace.org/

Sign it and get involved locally. There are national events as well as local participation in all 50 states. We need to stand together and call upon all of our elected officials to bring an end to the occupation in Iraq.

The Declaration of Peace is a nationwide campaign to establish by September 21, 2006 a concrete and rapid plan for peace in Iraq, including:

-a prompt timetable for withdrawal of troops and closure of bases
-a peace process for security, reconstruction, and reconciliation
-and the shift of funding for war to meeting human needs.

If this plan for peace is not created and activated by Congress by September 21, the International Day of Peace, Declaration signers across the U.S. will engage in nonviolent action in Washington, D.C. and in communities throughout the nation.

Check it out!
