Rally & Fast: Join Minnesota Leaders Who Oppose U.S. Military Action Against Iran

Wednesday, July 9, Noon Minnesota State Capitol, South Steps, 75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, St. Paul.

Join Minnesota bishops, mayors, clergy, council members, congressmen, state senators and representatives, business and cultural leaders who are opposing war on Iran. Political and religious leaders will be fasting and speaking out to kick off a campaign to build public opposition to U.S. military action against Iran.

Mayor R. T. Rybak, Congressman Keith Ellison, St. Paul City Council President Karen Lantry, Lutheran Bishop Craig Johnson, Methodist Bishop Sally Dyck, Presbyterian Synod Executive Phil Johnson, and many others have already signed on to a statement opposing war on Iran.


With over 4,000 deaths of U.S. soldiers in the Iraq war and over 600,000 deaths of Iraqi civilians, Minnesota leaders are fasting to show the depth of their commitment to prevent the human suffering another war would cause. Bush and Israeli officials continue to discuss military options for Iran. Minnesotans from all walks of life are shocked and dismayed at the possibility of U.S. involvement in another war. State Representative Alice Hausman states that, "The tragedy of our current situation is that we fail to admit the cost of the war in human lives and the economic devastation to our country." From the statement that Minnesota leaders have signed: "Our fast represents the depth of our commitment to prevent the deaths, destruction, hunger and misery of another warŠ"

* The rally and one-day fast * are planned to demonstrate how widespread the opposition is to military action against Iran. An ominous pattern of provocative words and acts from the White House points to a new war: a "preventative" strike on Iran. While we could not prevent the war on Iraq, we must prevent a war on Iran!

1. H.Con.Res 362

Senator Klobuchar has signed on to this bill along with Senator Coleman. I think she is a DINO and I would like my money back that I donated to her campaign.

2. H.Con.res 362

As early as the second week in July, the House may vote on H.Con.Res. 362 – a resolution that demands Bush initiate an international effort to effectively impose a land, sea, and air blockade on Iran.
The Iranian response is likely to be the use of force to break the blockade, which could spark a chain of events leading to a broader war.
