We can do this

Rochester area residents are in a unique position to push Congress to stop funding the Iraq war because Louise Slaughter is Chair of the Rules Committee and she meets with Nancy Pelosi frequently.

Metro Justice is starting up a sophisticated phonathon for peace to urge Slaughter to turn off the war funding and to block any plans to bomb Iran.

Can you help us by joining our phonathon team for two evenings?

“But I don’t do phoning”

We’ve marched, rallied and demonstrated. And now most Americans agree with us. It’s time to focus that anti-war energy on Congress. By directly reaching out, person to person, with Rochester area residents who are against the war, and then patching them through to Slaughter’s office, we can create a wave of direct pressure to make sure Congress is hearing where we’re at. Our enlisted soldiers and the people of Iraq are counting on us to do everything we can. We’ll have a script for you and we usually have fun doing these calls.

“Isn’t Congresswoman Slaughter already against the war?”
Louise has signed a letter pledging not to support any funding bill that doesn’t include withdrawing our troops. But she still hasn’t said that she’ll use her leadership position to block funding and she still hasn’t come out for full withdrawal and the removal of all bases.
There’s nothing like hundreds of phone calls to strengthen the resolve of an elected representative.

Weekday evenings 5:30 to 8:30pm at the Metro Justice office, 167 Flanders Street, Rochester
Monday, November 12
Tuesday, November 13
Wednesday, November 14
Thursday, November 15

We aren’t on the sidelines. We aren’t complaining or whining. We are jumping into the fray and taking part in the direction of history.

Please join us,
Jon Greenbaum, Metro Justice Organizer
