Opposed to an Invasion of Iraq?

Are you against our Government invading Iraq? We certainly are. And so apparently are many of the leading Republicans in Congress, the State Department and past Administrations.

If you are wondering what you can do about it, here's a petition you can sign from Democrats.com to make your views known.

Among the points contained in the petition:

"George W. Bush has no authority under the Constitution to invade Iraq. The Constitution requires Congress to declare war, but Bush believes he can simply ignore the Constitution, in direct violation of his sworn oath to 'protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' If Bush insists on starting a war without an Act of Congress, then Bush should be impeached."

"We call upon all genuinely patriotic Americans to join us in declaring our opposition to a US conquest of Iraq."

And this from MoveOn , a nationwide network with more than 450,000 online activists:

"As President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld drive the nation toward a war with Iraq, everyone from their top generals to Henry Kissinger is urging them to reconsider. MoveOn is organizing constituent meetings with the offices of every Senator in which we can urge them to critically examining the rationale for a war.

Check in with MoveOn Friday, August 16 to register for a meeting in your state and join thousands in voicing your concern about an Iraq war.
