Energy Building for National Day of Action
END THE WAR IN IRAQ, NOW!

With just four days before the 11 massive regional demonstrations and other actions around the country, the energy is growing and momentum is building. The people of this country know this war is wrong and it must stop. On Saturday, from many cities but in one voice, we will send a clear and unified message: end this war, bring the troops home, fund our communities!

You can get the most up-to-date information about the plans for the protest in the city nearest you by going to www.oct27.org. There you can find details about the day's activities, leaflets to download and copy so you can help spread the word, information about transportation to the regional action near you and much more.

It is not too late to make your plans to get to one of these mobilizations. And it is not too late to help us make sure everyone knows what's happening on Saturday, and that they are encouraged to participate.

Here are some things you can to do to help build October 27th:

* Send a copy of this message to everyone you know, to every email address you have.

* Share the video generously produced by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Foundation in support of the mobilization with others, and encourage them to sign the October 27th pledge. http://oct27.org/brave_new_video (more below the fold)...

* Ask any group or organization you are part of to help get the word out. They can organize a phone-banking evening and send out email messages.

* Print out a copy of the leaflet for the demonstration nearest you from www.oct27.org and make copies to give out at work, in your neighborhood, at school or anywhere else you'll be seeing people.

* Call into a radio talk show and explain why you'll be marching on Saturday. Be sure to let people know how they can get more information. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/media/

* Post an October 27th web button on your website, blog or MySpace and/or Facebook profile. http://www.oct27.org/web_buttons

* It's not too late to organize group transportation from your area to the closest regional mobilization. First, check the website to see what might be available, but if nothing is close by, then pull folks together for vans and car pools. You might even still be able to rent a bus.

Let's all do what we can to build the October 27th National Day of Action. Let's come together to send the strongest, loudest, clearest message we can: The people of this country oppose this war, and we want it to end now! We want all the troops and contractors to come home, now! We want our tax dollars to be used to meet our needs right here at home and to rebuild our communities, not on death and destruction! And we do not want a new war in Iran, or anywhere else!

Please help us with the largest financial contribution you can make: http://www2.oct27.org/donate.html?q=donate
