Ask Bob Barr to speak out against further Iran sanctions and a prelude to another war Congress is gearing up for another war - against the people of Iran,
this time - in the traditional Empire fashion - by starting with
increasingly strict economic sanctions which will weaken the people of
the target/victim country. The House action to accomplish this
economic warfare is Resolution 362 - you can find the bill here:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hc110-362

and information about it and its likely impact can be found here:

http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2008/06/23/iran-war-resolution-may-be-passed-next-week/

It is important that the LP's presidential candidate speak out AGAINST
sanctions and other punitive actions against the Iranian people. Barr
has spoken in general terms about 'not rushing to war' against Iran,
but as the de facto spokesperson for the Libertarian Party, he really
needs to make the point that sanctions ARE war - and war against
civilians.

So I'm asking fellow Libertarians to ask our candidate Barr to make a
clear and unambiguous statement denouncing both HR362 and any proposed
or existing sanction measures against the people of Iran.

Please write to the Barr campaign by filling in the form on Barr's
site to "send your message to Bob" (unfortunately there seems to be no
campaign email address I can share; apparently you have to use their
form): http://www.bobbarr2008.com/join/

Thank you!!
