> January 27 - the Trigger for War
> WHY WE MUST ACT NOW!
> 
> MOBILIZE FOR JANUARY 18:
> National March on Washington
> to Stop Bush's War on Iraq
> 
> "Most United Nations diplomats" believe that the war can 
> come in "record time" after the weapons inspectors' report 
> is presented to the U.N. on January 27. "Not 
> coincidentally," reports Reuters (1/1/03), "the date is an 
> approximate time when the U.S. military would be ready to 
> attack."
> 
> Intervention by the people of the United States can stop 
> the Bush Administration from using the report as an 
> automatic trigger. The Associated Press reports in its New 
> Year's poll that 2/3 of respondents in the U.S. are 
> worried that an attack on Iraq will bring an attack on the 
> soil of the U.S.
> 
> Despite the fact that weapons inspectors have found no 
> trace of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Iraq 
> after unfettered access and 200 searches across the 
> country, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has ordered the 
> doubling of troops near Iraq to over 100,000 by early 
> January. The Pentagon is sending 11,000 more desert 
> trained combat soldiers, foot soldiers, armor, aviation 
> and artillery units, dozens more striker aircraft and two 
> more aircraft carrier battle groups to the region by early 
> January as well.
> 
> The January 18 National March on Washington DC may very 
> well be the last opportunity that we have on a national 
> level to show the breadth and depth of opposition -- the 
> last chance to stop Bush's scheduled plan to start this 
> war on Iraq. It is imperative that as many people as 
> possible fill the streets of Washington DC to show united 
> and mass opposition and the strength and power of our 
> movement.
> 
> While local actions are the essence of a grassroots 
> movement and continue to take place everyday, there are 
> times that require the people of the United States to come 
> together in the largest possible mobilization.

> BUSES ARE TRAVELING TO WASHINGTON DC AND TO THE JOINT 
> ACTION IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM OVER 150 CITIES IN 40 STATES.
