Hello all,
This is a request to join me. I will continue to hit people up for sending letters, emails, faxes...making phone calls and otherwise publicizing our deep protest of this war's continuation. In so doing, I've learned about some resources that helped me and could help you too.
If you go to the links below you will find some great connections to newspaper editors, state congress, tv stations, etc. Just tell them in a couple of sentences or more that we as a nation of people want OUR TROOPS HOME. THe idea is to get a gathering wave of more and more and more people registering their complaint with regularity.
It doesn't replace discussions in church or at work or in charity organizations. It doesn't replace protest rallies or showing up in public sessions of city council and protesting, but it will make a difference. We NEED to let the congresspeople and mainstream media know there is deep and abiding hatred of the continued killing and waste of U.S. treasury on a faulty war.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=106&topic_id=8816&mesg_id=8816other suggestions: type in your state and .gov such as "oregon.gov" or "missouri.gov" to find other resources and contact info for your own state.
In addition, I will be continuing to put together my own offline list of resources for each state and national contacts. Please send an email a day. Or maybe email 5 people today. Or maybe call someone on Monday. Each person doing a little will accomplish a lot.
More than that, share with others this "DRUMBEAT FOR PEACE" and pass it along. THe more people are aware others are activating...the more they realize they are not alone....the more motivated they will be.
I've already written and gotten responses from multiple newspapers today. They are responding. We will be heard.
