URGENT

April 1. Please sign this petition to Turkish leaders.

March 24.
Please e-mail the Turkish parliament, asking them to rescind USAF overflight rights, thanking them for not letting the Bush Blitzkrieg use their land route (by a hair)and encouraging them to hang in there

A U.S. "defense" spokesman called the Turkish vote "a big deal" for US military strategy. The Bush regime was "stunned" by it. "Under tremendous pressure from the United States to allow the troops, [the Turkish government] will discuss whether to try again to pass the measure." It's not over yet!
When you're done, take a minute for the Quick 'n E-Z U.N. lobbying kit, too. A UN peacekeeping force in Iraq will throw the final monkey wrench in the chimp's war plans.

Last month, a secretary at the Turkish UN mission pleaded for more anti-war callers and emails, and offered to give any faxes to the Consul. She had only 1 phone call that day - FOR the war. Turkish mission fax no. 212 949-0086.
