Declaration of Peace Campaign Calls on Congress to End the Occupation of Iraq. |

The Declaration of Peace
A Pledge to Take Action to:
· Bring the Troops Home Now
· By September 21, 2006, establish a comprehensive plan
to end the US war in Iraq
· Oppose future US military invasions
· Take Action to End the War in Iraq!
The Declaration of Peace is a nationwide campaign to establish by September 21, 2006, a concrete and rapid plan for peace in Iraq, including:
A prompt timetable for withdrawal of troops and closures of bases
A peace process for security, reconstruction, and reconciliation
And the shift of funding war to meeting human needs
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
People across the United States are signing the Declaration of Peace pledge, a commitment to take action if this plan is not created and activated by Congress by September 21, the International Day of Peace.
From September 21 – 28, Declaration of Peace signers will withdraw their consent from this war and support a comprehensive peace process by taking part in nonviolent actions, marches, rallies, demonstrations, interfaith services, candlelight vigils, and other creative ways to declare peace at the US Capitol and in cities and towns across the US.

Yes! I join with the majority of US citizens, the people of Iraq, and people around the world in calling for a comprehensive end to the US war in Iraq.
I solemnly pledge to:
Call on the Bush administration and Congress to immediately withdraw all US troops from Iraq, with no future deployments
Urge my Congressional representatives to adopt a "bring the troops home now" position, and to establish a concrete, comprehensive withdrawal plan no later than September 21, 2006, International Peace Day, just days before Congress adjourns
Participate in marches, rallies, demonstrations, and other peaceful strategies to establish this plan
Engage in nonviolent civil disobedience, as conscience leads me, if this plan for a comprehensive withdrawal is not established and activated no later than September 21, 2006.
