NOT ONE MORE! Sign the Pledge For Peace

_____________________________

* THE PLEDGE FOR PEACE *
_____________________________

As a member of a concerned community that supports peaceful efforts and justice for all, I declare that I will only vote for, and support, any candidate in the 2008 presidential election who is able to publicly declare by February 20, 2006 President's Day) that:

- The reasons for the war are based on lies and deceit.

- The war is wrong because it violates U.S. and International laws, and the basic principles of a democratic and just society.

- Agree to act in accordance with the Geneva Convention and international law, and immediately stop any and all torture and abuse at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Graibs prison, and any other facility that is under the U.S. control or it's direction. The U.S. should not be conducting or condoning torture.

- Agree to make non-violence a platform of their candidacy.

Now is the time to oppose this unjust war, and I cannot in good conscience allow this travesty to continue, or support any candidate who has chosen to let it continue.

Not One More needless death! Not One More injustice! Not One More day!

Thank you.

Dear Community Member and Elected Official:

There is a terrible national tragedy occurring under our watch- the Iraq War. Clearly, it is time to get off the fence and state which side you are on. This illegal occupation is in violation of U.S. law, international law, as well as a betrayal to basic principles of democracy and justice. It is causing needless deaths and unnecessary suffering to both the American and Iraqi communities.

Candidates running for elected office, please hear our message: ‘We will only support those candidates who are committed to ending this unjust war and bringing about a peaceful resolution.’

We need to make peace and justice the primary way to resolve conflict. This war is based on lies and injustice, and is not meant to bring solutions to any issues in the Middle East (other than to determine who will control the natural resources).


=> SEND THE MESSAGE TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS

The message to our elected officials is this: if you believe that this war is a travesty, now is the time to stand up and publicly announce that the war is wrong. Join us by February 20, 2006, in publicly stating that you support bringing our soldiers back, and ending this war that is based on lies and deceit. Now is the time, not two years from now.

February 20th was picked because it is President's Day, and hopefully any potential presidential candidate will reflect upon what they want to stand for by this symbolic day. This country needs a leader who will take this country forward, and protect liberty and justice for all by putting ‘We the People’ first.

Honor our soldiers and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice by not putting any more of our community through the pain and suffering. Not One More!

There is sufficient evidence that shows beyond a reasonable doubt that the alleged justifications for this war (weapons of mass destruction, responsible for September 11, 2001, immediate nuclear threat by Saddam) was a product of willful manipulation on the part of the President and has no basis in truth. To put it plainly, the President lied to the American people about why he sent us to war. Our soldiers and their families are paying the ultimate sacrifice.

This war is not wrong because we have over 2,000 U.S. soldier deaths; it is wrong because we are illegally occupying a foreign country based on lies and deceit. We committed and condoned acts of torture and abuse in violation of our democratic principles. We are committing crimes against humanity.

The need for timely support is now! - Stand up and be counted


=> If you are a member of the peace movement, commit yourself to voting only for candidates who have publicly declared by February 20, 2006, their opposition to the war. And please, let your elected officials know what you intend to do. We cannot afford to support another 'Kerry' type candidate, one who is unclear or incapable of stating clearly that this war, based on lies and deceit, is wrong. Each day we wait is another unacceptable delay in peace and justice, and needless deaths. Sign the Pledge for Peace now.

'There is no peace without justice, and there is no justice if it is based on lies.'
