Hi Everyone,

wherever; use in any local media work around Iraq, present it to local
coalitions working on Iraq, etc.

A Call to Non-Cooperation with the War on Iraq

As conscientious objectors to war, we commit ourselves to refuse to pay
some or all of the federal taxes that fund the  U.S. war on Iraq.  Over the
last seven years individual conscientious objectors have gone to jail for
protesting the Gulf War, gone to Iraq in violation of a U.S. travel ban,
carried humanitarian supplies into Iraq in violation of the sanctions, and
watched with immense sadness as hundreds of thousand of Iraqi citizens died
because U.S.bombs destroyed their civilian infrastructure and U.S.initiated
sanctions resulted in starvation and disease.

We call on all those who oppose this renewed war on Iraq to refuse to pay
for it, and instead to redirect their federal tax money to heal the wounds
of war.   April 15 is before us.  We ask people of conscience to refuse to
pay the federal excise tax on their telephone bills, and/or to refuse to
pay some or all of their federal income taxes, as a clear signal to our
government that this new war is wrong.

(For information on how to resist and redirect your taxes contact the
National War Tax Resistance Coordinating Committee at 1-800-269-7464; web:
