We plead with you to join us in petitioning the Congress of the United States to exercise its - constitutional right and duty to respond to the people’s hope for peace. We urge you to contact your representatives in whatever wav possible. but best of all to let vour versonal presence witness for peace in the hearing rooms and offices of the Capitol itself.
