Send Bush a Postcard to protest Iraq war

Time's going by quickly...but here's an idea, from a friend:

President Bush is considering starting a war by invading Iraq. Many of us do not believe that this is the right thing to do. (An unknown numbers of lives, two hundred thousand American troops and sixty-billion dollars.)

In an effort to make our point of view heard, I am suggesting that encourage as many citizens as possible to mail a post card to the white House asking him not to start another war. If we all mail our cards, or letters, on the same day it will have maximum impact. Hopefully we may receive news coverage.

The important thing is to have as many people as possible engaged in the project. So I am asking you to forward this e mail to as many people as you can. This will take less that five minutes. of your time. With luck we can reach millions of people within the next two weeks.

If we all mail our cards on or about August 15 we may be in time to influence the situation. If we all reach five people with eleven forwardings it will reach forty-eight million people. The chain letter effect.

I am asking you to invest twenty-three cents and ten minutes to help stop a war.

Mail to:
George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington DC 20500
