War with Iran: A response from the Crawford Peace House
On October 3 2006 The Eisenhower strike group left its base in
Norfolk, Virginia with a 6,500 deployment force. Naval Officers
contacted Peace Groups to protest the possibility of a planed provoked
war with Iran.
Today the Strike Group is being joined by an armada of ships sailing
to the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and to the Mediterranean.
Military exercises starting October 31 will practice interdicting ships.
This naval armada has forewarned the possibility of a attack on Iran
and Syria by positioning of a strike force equal to proposed war
scenarios
A naval blockade would be considered by Iran to be an act of war.
Iran is now on full military alert.
The rumors and possibility of an October surprise and a war with Iran
are not acceptable.
On April 6 ,2002 almost 2,000 came to a rally In Crawford Texas to
protest the secret plans of George Bush and Tony Blair to go to war in
Iraq. The Crawford Peace House was born as a response to the coming
of that illegal war. The war and occupation of Iraq still continues
with no end in sight.
With great sadness we are again asking for citizens to be ready to
mobilize to stop another great madness.
In the event of a Naval blockade or an attack on Iran
The Crawford Peace House will call on all peace loving people to come
to Crawford November 5, 2006 election weekend for a 1:00 rally and
march to the Bush ranch.
A press conference November 6th at the Peace House
and more actions to correspond to Bush's visit to Crawford to vote on
Tuesday 7th
Peace,
Johnny Wolf

We can't stop a war with Iran if that's what Bush has decided to start. What we CAN do it paint and broadcast a scenario in which (1) America rushes to the polls on Nov. 7; (2) Votes Democrats into control of Congress; and (3) Congress STOPS the war.
We need to broadcast this scenario now, far and wide all across America. Get people aware of what's about to happen so that it doesn't affect their voting behavior. Get them to see that the only way to stop a war Bush might start is to vote Dems into Congress in a few weeks.
As crass as it sounds, let's not worry about a new war beginning. Let's shove all our energies instead into preventing the war from causing voters vote to keep the status quo., i.e., Repuglicans in control of Congress.
We need to forewarn people that a war with Iran starting right before elections is simply a ploy to get them to vote in a certain way. We need to get them to see that Bush & Co. are playing them for fools.
Critical here is getting the word out to Independents and middle-of-the-road voters. Get them to see that Bushy is playing them for fools. That he's so rabid about holding on to his power that he would even start a war for the sole purpose of keeping that power.
