We Need Diplomacy, not a Military Buildup!

Friends,

     We urgently need as many people to contact their Congressional representatives and senators with the message:

·      Diplomacy NOT war with Russia.

·      Don’t fuel the tensions with another half billion in advanced weapons to Ukraine.

     I’m not one to reinvent the wheel. Following is the action alert from Historians for Peace and Democracy.

     Please take action to prevent a war today!

     Joseph Gerson

As the tensions over the Russian-Ukraine conflict ratchet up, US policy grows more dangerous,

Unfortunately, Democratic leaders in the House and Senate (Rep. Meeks and Senator Menendez) are working on legislation to expedite the shipment of $500 million in weapons to Ukraine and threatening punishing sanctions on Russia, which would only hurt civilians. This belligerent approach contributes to the atmosphere of crisis and diplomatic rigidity.

Call your Congressional Representative and Senators TODAY and let them know you favor serious diplomacy, which lowers tension and that you oppose more military threats by the US and NATO.
