Observe Moratorium Day By Yourself!

Hit the Politicians Where It Hurts

Have your Congressperson and/or Senators been enabling the Bush/Cheney administration to continue this disastrous war?

Here is a way that's sure to get their attention. All it takes is three quick easy steps this Moratorium Day:

• Write a check to his or her campaign committee, for a reasonable amount--$20, $40, $110.
• Write on the front of the check, in large letters, the word VOID.
• Mail it off with a brief note stating that until he or she steps up and takes concrete and consistent action to stop the war, you will not cough up a single dime! (And feel free to mention the Iraq Moratorium.)

The idea is simple: For too many in Congress, we constituents are essentially an annoyance--people who want passports expedited, nephews admitted to the Coast Guard Academy, the privacy of our phone calls and emails protected, national health insurance. There's just no end to the demands.

Donors, though...that's another story. Donors are the best humanity has to offer; they provide the very lifeblood of a modern political career--money!

Now imagine Representative X getting the report from the campaign committee. "Well, Congressman, the good news is we took in $13,000 this week. The bad news is that $3,700 of it was in voided checks because you won't do anything real to end the war."
