From : TrueMajority Subject : A military blockade?
Date : Wed, Jul 16, 2008 02:42 PM
What would a blockade of Iran look like? The Bush administration sending American warships
and military equipment into the most combustible region in the world. Their mission? Board
and inspect cargo entering and leaving Iran by any means necessary.1 This would be a clear
provocation and the first step on the path to all out war.Unfortunately, that's exactly what Democrats who want to look tough on national security are demanding.
Right now there is a resolution working its way through the House of Representatives which
would require a naval blockade of Iran and bring us closer to war.1 This resolution already
has 247 co-sponsors and it must be stopped.
Tell your Representative to oppose the Ackerman Iran resolution: http://www.TrueMajority.org/NoBlockadeFor the past 10 months, we've been warning against the perils of starting yet another war in the Middle East.
Together, we've sent thousands of messages to Congress demanding that Congress have to approve any military
action and our Iran Mobile has traveled to events across the country to highlight how crazy it is to start
another war. Still, our work is just beginning. Between now and November, we'll have ample opportunity
to remind our legislators that there are other ways of being tough on national security than acting likeGeorge Bush Republicans.
We need an active policy of engagement and diplomacy, and there is absolutely no reason for Congress to
even consider escalating the war of words with aggressive belligerent action.
Thanks for taking action,

Thanks for taking action to oppose a military blockade of Iran. With only a few months left in the Bush Presidency, it's tempting to sit back and wait
until November. But belligerent rhetoric and fear mongering about Iran is on the rise.
We need your help to turn up the heat to stop the march to war with Iran right now.
