The fact that Israel used U.S.-supplied
weapons in its attacks on Lebanon and Gaza means we in the U.S. have
both the responsibility and leverage to prevent new wars of aggression. If we act now to
curtail U.S. support for Israel, we can reduce the chances of another all-out war in the Middle East.
TAKE ACTION
1. Demand that Congress halt arms
shipments to Israel and require Israel to fully abide by the cease-fire: Call the
Capitol Hill Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senators' and your Representative's offices.

Our program in behalf of impeachment (June 17) was a success! Jim Weaver, U.S. Congressman from this district for 12 years (1975-1987), called for immediate start of legislative committee hearings that would lead to impeachment of President George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Speaking in support of Weaver's call for action was the University's
most distinguished science professor, Frank Stahl. For the past year, Stahl
has been distributing on campus flyers that describe the Iraq war as illegal
and unconstitutional.
