Congressman DeFazio

They didn't condemn Vice President Cheney when he falsely connected Al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein.1
They didn't condemn Colin Powell when he lied about WMD to the United Nations.2
They didn't condemn President Bush when he started eavesdropping on American citizens without a warrant.3
They didn't condemn President Bush and the Republicans when they attacked Sen. John Kerry's war record.4
They didn't condemn Sen. Saxby Chambliss when he ran ads comparing triple-amputee and war hero Max Cleland to Osama bin Laden.5
They still haven't done enough to slow this dreadful war or protect our troops.6
But a few hours ago, your representative voted in the House to join the Senate in condemning a MoveOn.org newspaper ad.7
Enough. Can you call Congressman Peter DeFazio—tell him to stop voting on useless resolutions and force an end to the war?

Congressman Peter DeFazio Phone: 202-225-6416District Offices: Coos Bay: 541-269-2609 Eugene: 541-465-6732 Roseburg: 541-440-3523

Republicans are hoping to use this to destroy us. Some Democrats are so afraid of being attacked that they're joining in a right-wing smear campaign.
Well, they need to know that we're not going to quiet down.
When you call, tell them that we're going to keep giving voice to the majority of Americans who want the war to end. We're going to keep the pressure on every scared Democrat and every pro-war Republican. We're going to demand they stand up—and turn them out of office if they don't. And we will never stand down until we have a majority of Congress with the guts to stand up for what's right.
If it's late the D.C. office is closed, make sure to call tomorrow.
