Open letter to Congress
An Open Letter to Congressman Jim Himes, 4th District, Ct. Dear Congressman Himes, The US plans to drop all the bombs carried by 1000 planes every day for a month. We are supposed to imagine that doing this will improve human rights in some way and, yet once again,...

Syria: Not in Our Son’s Name!
Syria: Not in Our Son’s Name! September 1, 2013 To the editor: Are we mad? Are we going to fire missiles at yet another country because our administration has been offended by the actions - “moral obscenity” in this case - of yet another sovereign nation? When...
To the Editor
The hypocrisy concerning Syria coming from a bellicose Washington and US media is frightening. Whence comes Washington ’s selective indignation when it comes to Syria? There has hardly been a dictator recently that we have not embraced. We armed our former friend...
To the Editor
To the Editor: We have about a week to stop our government from bombing Syria. With the political action focused in Congress, Rivertowns residents have a significant role to play. This is because our congressman, Eliot Engel, is a leading advocate of bombing and a...
To the Editor

To the Editor

Dear Friends and Members of WESPAC,If concrete steps toward a peace deal aren’t taken before the midterm election, we risk the war against Iran spiraling into a permanent, multi-trillion-dollar quagmire.The administration has burned an estimated $2 billion a week on this conflict. These are funds that could build 4,000 new homes every single week or fix our failing roads and hospitals. Instead, our taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a war that a growing number of Americans do not want.We need decisive congressional action before the election.On Tuesday, October 20th, two weeks before the election, join a nationwide coalition to gather at U.S. House and Senate district offices, arriving 30 minutes before doors open to speak directly with lawmakers and their staff as they arrive for the day.Will you join our nationwide call to Congress outside your lawmaker’s office on October 20th to end the war against Iran?WESPAC will be outside of Congressmember George Latimer’s office located at 222 Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains.👉 RSVP and let us know if you’ll be outside your local congressional office.Check out the Action Kit with resources including social media posts, a customizable flyer, and a rally check list to make it easier to organize a rally! Comment endMore information about the nationwide Day of Action can be found here, including a growing list of rallies that are being planned around the country.In solidarity,Nada
Our deepest condolences to the family and to all who loved her @everyone
