Look Congress In the Eye on September 4th Email Print

On September 4th AmericaStandsWatch.org. Stand Watch. Protect Democracy. Expect the War to End Now.

On September 4th we are going to Congress to protect our democracy. We no longer accept rhetoric or false hope. We expect the war to end now.

Working with Iraq Veterans Against the War for the past year has taught me many things. Everything I thought about the war and the military was wrong. I did not grow up in a military family and serving this country in uniform was not something I ever considered. After working with veterans and active-duty soldiers I realize how ignorant and stupid I have been.

The military-the rank and file who do the work-is against this war. I have no doubt. Polls by Zogby show it and the experience of active-dutry soldiers and veterans confirms it.

The American public is also against this war. But polls no longer matter and even large protests will no longer make a large impact. It is time to take it directly to Congress, where they work and stand watch until they end this war. Let's get started on September 4th when they come back from their summer vacations. Join us, stand up. Just go to AmericStandsWatch.org to find out more.

Have you ever been to the galleries? They're usually empty. Its so sad, like a theater where the actors don't care that no one has come to the performance. Imagine if they were full - if the actors knew we were paying attention. Getting a letter from a constituent is great, having to stare her in the eye while you work - that's powerful.
