October 15, 2002 TWO IMMEDIATE ACTIONS As the Security Council begins today to debate a new resolution relating tomilitary action against Iraq, Voices would like to generate a huge number ofletters to specific members of the SC. I spoke two days ago with Mr. Hans von Sponeck and he concurred that this could be an effective action at this time. Letters should go to three of the permanent members of the SC (France, China, Russia) and to Ireland (currently president of the SC) and to Denmark (currently heading the EU). Here are the FAX numbers and E-MAILS for the member states we are suggesting: Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China to the UN FAX: 212-634-7626 e-mail: chinun@undp.org Permanent Representative of Denmark to the UN FAX: 212-308-3384 e-mail: nycmis@umdk Permanent Representative of France to the UN FAX: 212-421-6889 e-mail: france@un.int Permanent Representative of Ireland to the UN FAX: 212-752-4726 e-mail: irlun@undp.org Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN FAX: 212-628-0252 e-mail: rusun@un.int Write short letters saying how as North American citizens we have worked to keep our nations [particularly the USA] from escalation of the economic and military warfare on Iraq. Tell them that now we ask them to do all in their power to keep the US from carrying out its war plan against the Iraqi people. And we would like to keep track of how many such letters are sent. Just send a brief e-mail to info@vitw.org saying you sent some number of letters. We are encouraging other organizations to begin similar campaigns. Please do this now as the UN debate is beginning. Thanks for this and for all that you are doing for peace.All best, Kathy Kelly, Gabe Huck, Jeff Guntzel, Ken Hannaford-Ricardi Voices in the Wilderness 1-773-784-8065 http://www.nonviolence.org/vitw 1460 West Carmen Ave Chicago IL 60640 **Please visit http://www.iraqpeaceteam.org *********************************** _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://www.msn.fr/msger/default.asp
