Standing Fast

Can't make it to DC every couple months to protest. The Win Without War coalition has started a useful website to assist grassroots lobbying to get Congress to end US occupation in Iraq without ever having to leave your town.

"StandUpCongress.Org is a "one-stop-shop" for Americans seeking information and tools to move Congress to take a stand to end the war in Iraq and prevent an escalation of war into Iran. The website is organized by the Win Without War coalition and allied groups, and our mission is to help you sort through the political labyrinth on Capitol Hill and give you the information you need to make a difference and move Congress to re-deploy US troops from Iraq. We are non-partisan and non-electoral. We rely on our members and friends - Members of Congress, activist groups, and a wide range of other sources of information - to provide insight and information that will be useful to you. We will provide you with updated information and links to these sources whenever possible. We are committed to translating the mandate delivered by the American people on November 7 - change course in Iraq and hold the Bush administration accountable - into action."

They have summaries of all the debates and bills on the floor regarding the war, and a useful toolkit of on-line materials to make you better informed on the issues. Highly recommended.
