From Silicon Valley Impeachment Coalition

This Friday (02/22/2008) at 9AM ten of us from SVIC will meet with our favorite Congressperson -- Zoe Lofgren for 30 minutes at San Jose office. That said, it would be awesome to have other dedicated impeachment minded folks outside her office from say 8:30AM to 10AM getting as many cars to HONK as humanly possible. This way, while we're chatting with Zoe about how much other folks want Impeachment Hearings besides us, for every HONK she hears we could just smile at her.

P.S., And, as always, we would love for you to join us for our normally scheduled "Honk for Impeachment" protest Friday, RAIN or SHINE, also outside her office from 3PM to 5PM making as much noise as possible.

Stop the Theft of Iraq’s Future – Iraqi Oil for the Iraqi People

February 23 marks the one-year anniversary of the Cabinet’s passage of the Iraq Oil Law. The Iraqi Federation of Oil Unions has called for an International Day of Action on Feb 22-23. People around the world will hold actions on these days in solidarity with the people of Iraq to say NO to the oil law and NO to foreign contracts under the occupation. Take a lunch break with us on Friday, Feb 22 and join us in DC for street theatre antics, speakers and a march from Exxon to the White House. Help us connect the dots between oil and occupation!

If you live outside DC, please join in solidarity and host an action in your community!

These actions help to continue the momentum against the oil law in Iraq while bringing a strong message to the Bush Administration that we stand against their coercive tactics to push the oil law. Search here for an action in your area or sign up to host an action today!

Stop the Theft of Iraq’s Future – Iraqi Oil for the Iraqi People

In Iraq, the on-going war and occupation has led to hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths, widespread devastation, relentless insecurity and crippling poverty. Foreign oil companies are scrambling to use this opportunity to secure access to massive profits from Iraq’s large untapped oil reserves at the expense of the Iraqi people.

The occupation of Iraq serves to protect these interests while US military bases are built nearby to guard the oil fields. As well, the Bush Administration has tried to push the Iraqi Parliament to pass a law that would give foreign oil companies unprecedented control over Iraq’s oil resources. The Iraqi cabinet, under pressure from the US, passed this law one year ago on February 23, 2007. The Iraqi Parliament has so far resisted pressure to pass this oil law, but the pressure is by no means over.
