YOU DID IT: RUMSFELD OUT! - Now seize the mandate for peace in Iraq
From TrueMajorityACTION - Wednesday, November 8, 2006 By Matt Holland, Online Director Seize the moment, and kick off the Mandate for Peace project, to make sure the new Congress remembers why we elected them. Sign this petition The news just came in that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, one of the key architects of the debacle in Iraq, is finally stepping down. Experts said this would *never* happen, because Rumsfeld was so close to President Bush. Your overwhelming rejection of Rumsfeld-Bush war in Iraq yesterday changed all those rules though. HERE's WHAT's NEXT: Even President Bush has realized that things have to change in Iraq. Starting now, we'll push the newly-elected Congress to Bring our Troops Home. Dozens of peace and community groups are launching a new post-election campaign this week called "Mandate for Peace." SIGN ON NOW to get this rejuvenated campaign off to a big start. Then forward this to everyone you know and ask them to sign too. The media are paying more attention now than ever before -- let's take advantage of it! TrueMajority members have been calling for this resignation for *years*, and have sent tens of thousands of calls and letters, despite the odds against success. This is an historic moment; let's make the most of it. We're working on this with Iraq Veterans Against War, Peace Action, Gold Star Families for Peace, Code Pink, Global Exchange and many others. Make this the moment the beginning of the end of the Iraq nightmare. Thanks for all you do, Matt Holland TrueMajorityACTION Online Director CLARIFICATION: Mandate for Peace I know we've sent a LOT of e-mails recently, and we apologize for this extra one -- but yesterday we left out some important facts you should know. In our rush to let you know about Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation Wednesday and the opportunity to launch the new Mandate for Peace campaign, we didn't take the time to fully explain what that campaign is about. It's definitely NOT a campaign to simply pull out troops and walk away from the mess in Iraq. A number of members have contacted us to say they agree that America needs to end the occupation of Iraq, BUT that we now have a responsibility to do what we can to help Iraqis return to normal life. We couldn't agree more. The full list of goals for the Mandate for Peace coalition is as follows: "We insist that the newly elected Congress, in its earliest days in office, pass legislation requiring the prompt removal of all US troops from Iraq and discontinue funding for military purposes in Iraq except the safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces. Additionally, Congress should: - Make real its existing stated commitment to no permanent US military bases in Iraq. - Support an Iraqi-led reconciliation process to shape a peaceful post-occupation transition. - Investigate and punish companies engaged in illegal war profiteering. - Commit significant funds to the reconstruction of Iraq, under the control and direction of Iraqis. - Provide funding for full benefits, adequate healthcare, and other support for returning servicemen and women. - Make every effort possible to ensure the peaceful resolution of conflicts with Iran and North Korea." These are the goals that we've signed on to along with Iraq Veterans Against the War, Gold Star Mothers for Peace, Pax Christi, Jewish Voice for Peace and 30 other progressive groups. I apologize for not taking the time to explain the campaign more thoroughly yesterday. Thank you to those who wrote saying that America should do the right thing in Iraq. You are the reason TrueMajority is the group that it is, and I'm glad for the chance to be part of it. And thanks to the more than 13,000 of you who have already signed the petition in the past 20 hours. (If you haven't signed but would like to, just Click Here.) Have a good weekend, Matt Holland TrueMajority Online Director p.s. -- Here is more information about the coalition and the campaign: http://www.mandateforpeace.org/ Read More
