things for people of conscience to do:

1. call congress. the switchboard is 1-800-839-5276 (that number courtesy of friends' national committee on legislation), and will connect you to any member. if you're calling a rep, say "please support rep. barbara lee's alternative to war amendment," or simply, "please oppose war on iraq [which is h.j.res. 114]." if you're calling a senator, ask her/him to support a filibuster and oppose the war (which is s.j.res. 45).

2. email everyone in creation. tell *them* to call congress.

3. make a ruckus: tonight laurel and roban and jenny and sarah and i put up about a hundred fliers around campus. we also copied 880 (110 sheets of eight each) small tags with NO WAR ON IRAQ and the congressional switchboard number. made me happy, i'll tell you. finally, in some way, a sense of empowerment in the midst of this shit.
