The Declaration of Peace organized 375 nonviolent actions in September 2006, www.declarationofpeace.org [5].
We have voted. We have vigiled. We have marched. Now we are organizing bold, nonviolent action for peace in cities and towns across the United States on the fourth anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq.
Nonviolent civil disobedience and other forms of nonviolent action are being organized March 16-19, 2007 to call on Congress and the Bush administration to defund the war, bring the troops home safely, and support a comprehensive peace plan. We are asking all Congressmembers to sign the following Congressional Declaration of Peace:
As a duly elected member of Congress, I commit to publicly support the establishment and activation by March 15, 2007 of a comprehensive plan for a rapid end to the US war and occupation in Iraq,
As part of this Declaration, I will:
Vote "NO" on any appropriations that would continue or escalate US military operations in Iraq.
Co-sign resolutions and bills that call for the rapid withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq, and the closure of all US military bases and installations there.
Work to establish a comprehensive plan for peace in Iraq, including support for an Iraqi-led peace process.
As part of efforts to end the US occupation of Iraq through the rapid withdrawal of US troops, I will co-sponsor resolutions and bills to stop any escalation of the war through the deployment of more US troops to Iraq.
