Anti-war groups planning phone campaign to overwhelm White House, Congress

I was thinking yesterday that the next step after last weekend was to e-mail, fax, and phone my Senators and Representatives again to rescind the resolution authorizing Bush to take any action.

I know the resolution actually says he has to notify Congress and get approval before any military action but he is ignoring the exact wording of the UN resolutions so I don't expect him to respect the exact wording of Congressional resolutions.

In the House, DiFazio and Paul have a strong anti-war resolution with 30 co-sponsers HR2 and Kennedy and Byrd have introduced a resolution in the Senate, SR32.

A problem is that many Democrats do not see either passing right now and a defeat would be seen as a show of support for Bush.

Still, I am going to start a fax and email campaign urging more inspections and going through the Security Council as the only legal and moral strategy.
