Vigil at Senator Kohl's

Past - Tuesday, April 18 2006 from noon to 2 pm
Senator Herb Kohl's office, 14 W. Mifflin St, Suite 207 (on Capitol Square, beside Vet's Museum)
Joy First, 222-7581, jsfirst@charter.net
     
 
When our Senators return to Washington on April 24, they will be voting on supplemental funding for the war in Iraq for $70 billion more. The bill passed the house already, though we can be proud that Tammy Baldwin voted against it.

Both senators say they have not yet decided how they will vote, but they have both voted for supplemental funding for the war in the past.

Now is the time to put pressure on our senators to vote against the bill for supplemental funding for the war. NOTE CHANGE IN PLANS: Instead of a 24 hour vigil, we will be holding a one hour vigil outside Senator Kohl's office in Madison at 14 W. Mifflin St, Suite 207 on Tuesday April 18 starting at noon, then another hour inside. People can participate by helping hand out literature to passersby, reading the names of Americans and Iraqis who have died in the war, and then paying a visit to Kohl's office.

Also, please call Senator Feingold about the supplemental funding and about introducing a law to get our troops out of Iraq. Tell everyone you know to call him. His Middleton number is 828-1200 and his DC number is 202 224-5323. We should be doing the same thing with Senator Kohl. His Madison number is 264-5338 and his DC number is 202 224-5653.

NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. Please everyone, this next week is crtical in putting pressure on Senators Feingold and Kohl to vote against the supplemental funding.
