Bush's veto of stem cell research risky - Yahoo! News

To all supporters of justice in Palestine and Lebanon:

Subject: Join March & Rally Tuesday July 18 at 5:00 pm From Warren & Oakman Marching to Rally at Dearborn City Hall. Call the White House and Congress

1) Please join the demonstration in solidarity with the peoples of Lebanon and Palestine on Tuesday July 18 at 5:00 pm starting at Warren & Oakman and marching to City Hall on Michigan and Schaefer. (Note the mass demo replaces our originally planned, and now cancelled, noon vigil on Wednesday.) Please join us on Tuesday July 18 at 5:00 PM at Warren Ave and Oakman Blvd.

Ask President Bush and Congressional rep's to rein in this current Israeli barbaric assault on Lebanon and Palestine. Stop US support to the continued ethnic cleansing and the apartheid-like collective punishment against Palestinians. Stop the assault by the 4th strongest army in the world against a mostly defenseless civilian population both in Lebanon and Palestine. We, American citizens, are paying the bill. How long will our complicity of silence continue, as these crimes are committed in our names, i.e. with our government's support? Call or fax the White House and Congress expressing your concerns. 202 456-1111; Fax 202 456-2461

Again, give your polite and succinct message and messages expressing your concerns. 202 456-1111; Fax 202 456-2461. Congressional Numbers are below.

They say "We don't hear you complain, you must like what we are doing."

Let them all hear it loud and clear: President Bush's statement: "Israel has the right to defend itself" is the green light to wipe out entire families in Palestine and Lebanon. Mr. President, this is an outrage. These are war crimes Israel is committing against people in Palestine and Lebanon with our US government's complete support Tell the president and our rep's NOT IN MY NAME! Stop the killing; STOP ISRAEL'S WAR CRIMES!

Call the White House and your Congressman today.
