apols if this is a double posting, best, f. ---------- From: "doug" <dhostetter@forusa.org> Subject: [no-sanctions] Iraq Action Digest: HR 742 Date: Wed, Mar 14, 2001, 1:14 am My apologies to all for the recent abatement of the Iraq Action Digest. I've been working out of the Western Washington FOR office for a couple months, away from my address book, but will return to New York and my normal schedule at the end of this month. ACTION ALERT, 3/8/01 We have a bill! Call your congressperson and ask that he or she co-sponsor the Humanitarian Exports Leading to Peace Act (HR 742--the HELP Act) introduced by Representative Conyers and cosponsored by 10 others. If passed, HR 742 would allow U.S. farmers, humanitarian aid organizations, and U.S. companies to send food, medical supplies, and agricultural goods directly to Iraq, and would hasten an end to the economic sanctions. To read more about H.R. 742 go to: http://congress.gov More about the bill will be posted later this week at http://saveageneration.org when EPIC debuts its Washington Watchers homepage (once called CongressWatch). Your house member's homepage can be found at: http://www.house.gov The Honorable (full name) U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Or call the Congressional Switchboard: 202/225-3121 When calling, ask for the staffer who handles foreign policy. Be prepared to leave a brief voice message and your phone number if necessary. You can also e-mail your member of Congress from http://www.afsc.org/conscience/. This is a promising bill--let's give it all our support! Lauren Fleer Fellowship of Reconciliation (206)789-5565 (until March 23) iraq@forusa.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
