Seventy-two percent of our soldiers in Iraq say the U.S. should end our occupation of that nation this year.1 It's more clear than ever that "supporting the troops" and "ending the war" are one and the same.
In order to spread that message and raise money for UFPJ's ongoing work, we at United for Peace and Justice have teamed up with the creative activists at BringThemHomeNow.com.
By putting a peace sign emblazoned with a yellow ribbon on a real 39 cent stamp, we're using a novel and symbolically powerful way to spread the message: Support the Troops, End the War - Bring ALL the Troops Home, NOW!
<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=128900431&url_num=6&url=http://www.goodstorm.com/click/155311/11>Click here now to buy peace stamps, t-shirts, buttons and other Bring Them Home Now merchandise and support the ongoing work of United for Peace and Justice.
We know stamping a letter won't end the war, but every time one of us lets others know where we stand, it strengthens our own convictions and makes the growing national peace majority just a tiny bit stronger. (And what could feel better than mobilizing an unarmed, uniformed army of U.S. postal workers to help you deliver that message?)
Use these stamps when sending letters to your representatives in Congress, sending contributions to your favorite peace organizations (like United for Peace and Justice!), or to make a statement when mailing for your everyday use.
Buying this postage and other items at BringThemHomeNow.com raises money to increase awareness and continue the fight. Every sheet of postage or other merchandise purchased through the link below will be another donation to keep up our work. The folks at BringThemHomeNow.com are not making any money from this effort - the net proceeds of this drive will support UFPJ, so we can continue our work to Organize, Mobilize & Empower the Peace Majority.
We have exciting plans for the rest of the year, including:
Local/regional organizing conferences for member groups; A Voters for Peace pledge drive and peace advocacy campaign, designed to keep issues of peace and justice on the agenda during the election season; Escalating coordinated activism with our member groups to keep pressure on Congress and the Bush Administration to end the war on Iraq and prevent a war with Iran.
