Mideast Just Peace

Wednesday March 7th 11:00 AM Join the Traverse Area Peace and Justice Community’s Campaign to keep our representatives on notice that they should act toward withdrawing the troops and cutting funding for the war. Meet at Horizon Shine Cafe at 10:30 AM on Wednesday. Other visits to their offices will be posted at www.TraversePeaceAlerts.org.

Nearly 20 people went to Sen. Levin and Rep. Camp’s offices today in Traverse City. Later in the day a smaller group went to Sen. Stabenow office. We asked for replies to our February 21st No More Funds for War and Bring the Troops Home NOW letter. Senator Levin and Stabenow’s offices were still drafting replies.

We got Dave Camp’s letter. Camp states: “I will continue to support U.S. forces around the world who are leading efforts to combat terrorism, make America safer, and promote democracy in countries that have been oppressed by brutal dictatorships.”

The full letter will be posted on www.TraversePeaceAlerts.org. We will be drafting our reply to Dave Camp and bringing that back to his TC office on Wednesday. JOIN US!!
