URGENT APPEAL!!
DETER PRESIDENT BUSH FROM ATTACKING IRAN!!

I am Don Schellhardt * (pioneerpath@hotmail.com): a Government Relations attorney in Richmond, Virginia. Despite denials from the White House, indications continue to mount that President Bush is planning to launch an unprovoked attack on facilities in Iran. There are even reports that the attack, justified as a way to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, may itself involve nuclear weapons that were recently developed here: “low yield” “bunker busters” that burrow underground before exploding.
If so, we can call the attack “The Nuclear War To End All Nuclear Wars.”
A non-binding Resolution will not deter President Bush from launching an attack. Maybe the consequences discussed below will be enough to give him second thoughts.

Dear [INSERT NAME OF U.S. SENATOR OR U.S. REPRESENTATIVE]:

Despite denials from the White House, I continue to hear reports that President Bush is planning an unprovoked attack on Iran -- possibly involving nuclear weapons! Efforts by Congress to de-escalate in Iraq may be complicated by the fact that U.S. forces are already stationed there, but surely Congressional legislators can agree on preventing unprovoked hostilities with Iran, where no U.S. forces are officially present.

A non-binding Resolution is unlikely to deter this President. Therefore, please send him the following message, or words to the same effect:

“Mr. President, based on various reports, I am concerned that you may initiate an unprovoked attack on Iran, possibly with nuclear weapons. Please be aware that I would regard any such action, if taken without prior and explicit Congressional approval, as grounds for an immediate impeachment inquiry.”

Please take action NOW -- before something is done that cannot be undone.

Sincerely,


[INSERT YOUR NAME]
