The Honorable Barbara Lee U.S. House of Representatives 426 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Lee:
The Student International Forum, the Columbus Campaign for Arms Control, the Progressive Peace Coalition, and the OSU Committee for Justice in Palestine in Columbus, Ohio wish to thank you for your courage to stand up firmly against the resolution to authorize U.S. military action to respond to the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, as you also rightly opposed the use of American troops in Serbia in 1998. We, too, are "convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States," as you put it in your eloquent plea against war. You will be remembered and honored as the lone voice of conscience in U.S. Congress. History will prove the truth of your insight.
Let us work together to end the war as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Yoshie Furuhashi Department of English Ohio State University <furuhashi.1 at osu.edu>
