Stop the Rush to War
Most Americans agree that Iraq’s longtime dictator, Saddam Hussein, is a sadistic thug. Despite this, White House calls for a massive, preemptive invasion of Iraq are dangerously misguided, and not in tune with Americans’ current priorities. Take action!
Nobody can predict how a U.S. invasion would fare, but we can be reasonably sure of a few things: It will cost tens of billions of dollars, alienate our allies in Europe and the Middle East, kill many civilians, further dim prospects for peace between Israel and Palestinians, explicitly violate the UN Charter and increase the likelihood Hussein might launch his nastiest anti-civilian weapons against our troops or Israel.
Invading Iraq will not lessen the threat of terrorism against the United States, and may actually increase it. No evidence has been produced linking Iraq to the September 11 attacks, and a U.S. war against Iraq could incite stronger support for Al Qaeda across the Arab and Muslim worlds.
Tell President Bush invading Iraq would be a terrible mistake. Take action!

Oppose Backdoor
Logging Proposal
The Bush administration is using the present, devastating fire
season to advance a proposal that would promote commercial logging under the
guise of fire prevention. Urge the Senate to oppose the plan and focus instead
on proposals that would reduce the risk of fire in our forests without risking
the forests themselves.
