Washington DC: Speak Now to End the War in Iraq!
July 25, 2007:
Four years into the Iraq War, Catholics from across the nation are coming together to say, "Enough!" And to get this message to those lawmakers who need to hear it most, Call To Action is a supporting organization of a collaborative petition drive called Cathoics for an End to the War in Iraq.
Joining with PaxChristi USA, Catholics United and NETWORK, the National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, we agree that our faith calls us to action to end the war. In fact, according to a post-election poll in 2006, the war in Iraq now ranks as the most pressing concern for Catholic voters across the country.
With this petition, we ask our lawmakers to legislate a solution to the Iraq War that includes diplomacy, redevelopment, and responsible withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Our goal is to gather 20,000 names between now and September 1st. Help us reach this goal by signing the petition and encouraging your friends and family to do the same. Once we reach our goal of 20,000, we will hand deliver the petition to our Congressional leaders in Washington.
