RE: Yes on HR 473 -- No on Public Law 105-235
Dear Representative X:
I am writing in support of HR 473, Rep. Barbara Lee's resolution to seek
a peaceful solution to the situation in Iraq. I believe that a policy
of deterrence, disarmament, and prevention in the Persian Gulf is the
right thing to do.
I also urge you to vote against President Bush's proposed
Congressional Resolution (Public Law 105-235). This sweeping expansion
of power would grant the President a blank check for military action in
the Middle East, and I do not believe that this is sound policy.
These are trying times, and I know that there is no simple path to
take. However, I hope that you will choose a path that won't plunge
our country into war.
Sincerely,
Your Name
