January 27 - the Trigger for War

WHY WE MUST ACT NOW!

MOBILIZE FOR JANUARY 18:

National March on Washington

to Stop Bush's War on Iraq

"Most United Nations diplomats" believe that the war can

come in "record time" after the weapons inspectors' report

is presented to the U.N. on January 27. "Not

coincidentally," reports Reuters (1/1/03), "the date is an

approximate time when the U.S. military would be ready to

attack."

Intervention by the people of the United States can stop

the Bush Administration from using the report as an

automatic trigger. The Associated Press reports in its New

Year's poll that 2/3 of respondents in the U.S. are

worried that an attack on Iraq will bring an attack on the

soil of the U.S.

Despite the fact that weapons inspectors have found no

trace of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Iraq

after unfettered access and 200 searches across the

country, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has ordered the

doubling of troops near Iraq to over 100,000 by early

January. The Pentagon is sending 11,000 more desert

trained combat soldiers, foot soldiers, armor, aviation

and artillery units, dozens more striker aircraft and two

more aircraft carrier battle groups to the region by early

January as well.

The January 18 National March on Washington DC may very

well be the last opportunity that we have on a national

level to show the breadth and depth of opposition -- the

last chance to stop Bush's scheduled plan to start this

war on Iraq. It is imperative that as many people as

possible fill the streets of Washington DC to show united

and mass opposition and the strength and power of our

movement.

While local actions are the essence of a grassroots

movement and continue to take place everyday, there are

times that require the people of the United States to come

together in the largest possible mobilization.

ACTION IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM OVER 150 CITIES IN 40 STATES.
