Women Against War Message
to Our Representatives in Congress:

7 Actions We Need from You to
Prevent War against Iran!

1. Take leadership in Congress to impede President Bush from continuing, and initiating, military and threatening actions against Iran without first obtaining authorization from Congress.
    

2. Support Congressional action to prohibit funding  approved by any Congressional act from being used to take military action against Iran without first obtaining explicit authorization from Congress, and clarifying that no previously enacted law authorizes military action against Iran.
    

3. Support S. Res 39, H. Con. Res. 33 and H.J. Res. 14, requiring Congressional approval for any military action against Iran.
    

4. Advocate diplomatic and not military engagement with Iran. Demand that the Bush administration commence unconditional diplomatic dialogue with Iran.
    

5. Urge the immediate reduction of the provocative U.S. Naval presence in the Persian Gulf and of U.S. support for confrontational military and other destabilizing operations in Iranian territory. Deny Congressional support and funding for these activities.
    

6. Support U.S. efforts to build people-to-people ties between Americans and Iranians, including working with the Iranian community in the United States.
    

7. Encourage Congressional support for a WMD-Free and Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone throughout the Middle East.
