Subject: Fwd: Election campaign: Send an instant message to the party leaders on a
key peace issue


Dear favourite thinking people,

You may have heard this already, but if our beloved leader is still willing to support Bush in the possible June Iran conquest then we might like to register our views before the election - this is how to quiz the party leaders, and very quick to do.

Go to http://www.owos.info/no_iran_attack/ to send your message now, which will be
delivered to each party leader.

“And finally, this notion that the United States is getting ready to attack Iran
is simply ridiculous. And having said that, all options are on the table.
(Laughter).”
George W Bush, February 2005

Dear Friend

This is an invitation from Our World Our Say to send a message to all the leaders
of the main parties now. The question that we are seeking an answer to is what
will the parties do if the US attacks Iran after the election.

Go to http://www.owos.info/no_iran_attack/ to send your message now, which will be
delivered to each party leader.

The evidence is mounting that firm US plans are in place to attack Iran – and that
the attack could take place as early as June.

It would be really appalling if we were to vote in May and then find Britain
supporting an attack against Iran this summer. Please take a moment now to send a
message to the party leaders – asking each one to make a pledge not to support
such an attack and to actively dissuade the US from taking such action.

Please do that now. With thousands of messages going to the leaders this will be
an issue they have to face up to. We’ll also be placing more adverts and
distributing tens of thousands of leaflets pressing the party leaders on this
question.

In his recent article 'Sleepwalking to Disaster in Iran' ex UNISCOM weapons
inspector Scott Ritter stated: ‘Late last year, in the aftermath of the 2004
Presidential election, I was contacted by someone close to the Bush administration
about the situation in Iraq. There was a growing concern inside the Bush
administration, this source said, about the direction the occupation was going.
The Bush administration was keen on achieving some semblance of stability in Iraq
before June 2005, I was told.

'When I asked why that date, the source dropped the bombshell: because that was
when the Pentagon was told to be prepared to launch a massive aerial attack
against Iran, Iraq's neighbour to the east....'

It would be inconceivable for Tony Blair not to know of such plans. Perhaps this
is why he wants the elections held before June?

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has uncovered the full extent of
US government plans. Details are available at
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?050124fa_fact.

We all remember how Tony Blair ignored our concerns in the build-up to the attack
on Iraq. The fact is, once the elections are out of the way, we may once again
find ourselves bounced into another war. That’s why we need to pressure the party
leaders now – before the UK elections – at http://www.owos.info/no_iran_attack

It’s vital that the party leaders answer the questions. Thanks to the generosity
of our campaigners and supporters we have already been able to place three
advertisements in the national press. Word of mouth is vital to help us build
momentum. Please send an instant message now to the Party Leaders and let your
friends know about this campaign at http://www.owos.info/no_iran_attack

All the very best


Simone La Corbinière – for the OWOS team


“The neocons say negotiations are a bad deal. And the only thing the Iranians
understand is pressure. And that they also need to be whacked.”
Senior Official of the International Atomic Energy Agency speaking to Seymour Hersch
