Dear AMC friends:
Along with many of you, I too am concerned about the pending world
situation. I thought this was worth passing on.

> ***One of the most important action alerts ever distributed
> by Sojourners***
>
> We are at a critical moment in time. A real possibility
> exists to prevent war on Iraq. However, in one week it
> could be too late.
>
> If you have ever wanted to take action, the time is now.
>
> High school and college students across the country are
> boycotting school and shouting, "Books not Bombs." Hundreds
> of thousands of Americans have gathered in New York, San
> Francisco, Washington, D.C., and other cities declaring,
> "War is Not the Answer!" Great Britain witnessed the
> largest march in its history as more than 1 million people
> pleaded, "Don't Attack Iraq!"
>
> Germany, France, China, and Russia openly oppose war
> without U.N. support, and Great Britain could change
> course.
>
> Now, for the first time, a clear and compelling third
> alternative has emerged. Following an hour-long meeting
> of U.S. church leaders with British Prime Minister Tony
> Blair, led by Sojourners executive director Jim Wallis,
> we have outlined a six-point plan that details a more
> effective way to remove Saddam Hussein from power without
> killing innocent people. Jim shared this vision with Tony
> Blair and now shares it with you.
>
> Please take a few minutes to read the complete six-point
> plan and e-mail it from our Web site to President Bush,
> Prime Minister Blair, and U.N. Secretary General Kofi
> Annan. You will then have the opportunity to send this
> same e-mail alert to others.
>
> Sojourners urges you to contact as many people as you can.
>
> We encourage you to:
> 1. Read the plan at http://www.sojo.net/action;
> 2. Send it to your family, friends, teachers, pastors,
> denominations, and others;
> 3. Encourage them to do the same;
> 4. Write or call local newspapers, radio and television
> stations, and politicians and tell them about this new
> alternative to war;
> 5. Lift up this effort in your prayers.
>
> The more people that hear about this third way, this
> alternative to war, the greater the chance that war might
> be averted.
>
> Please go to http://www.sojo.net/action today!
