RE:  Yes on HR 473 -- No on Public Law 105-235


Dear Representative X:


I am writing in support of HR 473, Rep. Barbara Lee's resolution to seek 
a peaceful solution to the situation in Iraq.  I believe that a policy 
of deterrence, disarmament, and prevention in the Persian Gulf is the 
right thing to do.

I also urge you to vote against President Bush's proposed 
Congressional Resolution (Public Law 105-235).  This sweeping expansion 
of power would grant the President a blank check for military action in 
the Middle East, and I do not believe that this is sound policy.

These are trying times, and I know that there is no simple path to 
take.  However, I hope that you will choose a path that won't plunge 
our country into war.

Sincerely,
