To celebrate the remarkable achievements in our first year affecting change in the states, we are hosting our first annual gala event. Our event, which will bring together progressive state and national leaders, will coincide with the spring conference of National Conference of State Legislators, a meeting of hundreds of state legislators from all over the country.

We hope you won't miss this opportunity to show your support of innovative new strategies for promoting progressive legislation.

If you can't make it to the event, please consider a donation to the Progressive States Network.

Honoring:

Deborah Rappaport

As Indiana National Guard members face call up for offshore deployments to Iraq,
Veterans for Peace Indiana Chapter #49 invites you to discuss:

U.S. Policy in the Middle East: Target Iran / The Role of Congress

Hear Scott Ritter, US Marine, Gulf War Veteran and former UNSCOM Weapons Inspector

and

Honorable Andy Jacobs, Korean War Veteran and former Indiana Congressperson

These veterans discuss the build-up toward war with Iran, and what Congress is and isn't doing about it. Ritter warns that aircraft carrier battlegroups will have maximum potential for an attack on Iran's nuclear reactor from March through June. One hundred and three US nuclear
reactors could become targets if the US (or Israel, using US weapons) attacks Iran's reactor.

Map to Event

The Campaign Against Sanctions and Military Intervention in Iran invites you to contribute generously to this effort to convey to the Iranian people that we do not consider them enemies. Returning with messages of good will and hope, the delegation will inform other Americans about what the corporate media leave out of the picture. Nearly $10,000 has been raised so a dozen "citizen diplomats" can travel to Iran for two weeks this June. The group's passports and contacts are now being readied. But the mission, organized by The Richmond Defender newspaper and the Virginia Anti-War Network, is still short a few thousand dollars. Please show your solidarity.
