Subject: NOT IN HER NAME CAMPAIGN: TEXT FOR LEAFLET TO BE DUPLICATED AND DISTRIBUTED ON FEB 15 MARCH IN LONDON

TO THE PALACE!
Tony Blair and Ian Duncan Smith, are railroading Britain and their own parties
into G.W Bush's mad military adventure. Bush wants to dominate the world to the detriment of other world powers and nations.
Against international law and the laws of this country, the warmongers are risking World War III by invading Iraq. They are acting unconstitutionally and illegally, serving a foreign power without consulting Parliament and against the will of the overwhelming majority of the people - even if the UN Security Council would stand in their way.
There is no point supplicating Blair to "change his mind" and "don't attack Iraq". He is already doing so, militarily, politically, economically and psychologically. This Parliament will rubber stamp whatever the bullies do and only fools or knaves can think Tony is going to change his mind "at the last minute", or that the executive of the Labour party will do it for him.
Britain needs regime change too. Without a government responding to the people of this country, Britain will be dragged into Bush's war, regardless of all the moral condemnation and over the helpless bodies of millions of protesters. There is only one peaceful and legal avenue left untried to the British people to achieve this, and it does not pass through Parliament or the courts that depend on Parliament. On the death of Princess Diana, the flag of Buckingham Palace was lowered when the power of the masses was focused on that particular objective. That too was against all precedent.
The Queen has been placed on an extremely compromised position by Blair's use of the Royal Prerogative to launch illegal war. The Church of England is on the right side of the argument. What can prevent her from undermining the power of the war mongers cabal and compel parliament to name a new government committed to preserving international peace and respecting the law of nations?
The NOT IN HER NAME CAMPAIGN asks your help to disseminate our call for petitioning the Queen to withdraw the Royal Prerogative from Tony Blair's hands, before it is too late. Please sign the petition on the back of this page, get your friends to sign it, if possible make duplicates and circulate them. Send all collected signatures to:
Her Majesty the Queen, Buckingham Palace, London SW1A 1AA
Hostilities against Iraq may break out at any time. In that event, we should
petition the Queen directly before the gates of Buckingham Palace. The NOT IN HER NAME CAMPAIGN calls us to gather at the gates of the Palace (nearest tubes:
St James Park - Green Park - Victoria) to sign petitions and hold a vigil commencing at 6.00 pm on the first opportune moment after the war breaks out. Anyone wanting to find out more about this campaign, or wanting to help further organise it, please email us at:

of local organizer - i.e. yourself)
FOR REGIME CHANGE IN BRITAIN!
NOT IN HER NAME CAMPAIGN
BACK OF LEAFLET (Also to be printed or duplicated, preferibly on one single sheet of paper):
PETITION TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND BRITISH
COMMONWEALTH
Your Majesty,
We urgently ask you to withdraw the Royal Prerogative from the Prime Minister
Tony Blair and his government. Your Ministers no longer command public confidence and they are implicating Your Majesty in the committal of criminal actions. Failure to dissociate yourself from the actions of a Government that ignores the views of the people, refuses debate in Parliament, and perseveres along the road of aggression, could have most injurious effects upon the very institution of the Monarchy.
Sincerely yours
name address/city/town
