<td><p>Dear friend,<br>
<br>
<b><img alt="John Kerry" width="101" height="88" vspace="5" hspace="10" border="1" align="left" src="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/161/c/3952/images/JohnKerry.jpg">With Congress at home for August recess, it's time to turn the focus to jobs and peace, not cuts</b>. Senator Kerry needs to know that we want him to focus on restoring the economy by creating jobs and ending the wars, not making more cuts to vital programs. Progressives nationwide have already had an impact early on during the recess—now it's up to us to keep after Senator Kerry!<br>
<br>
<b>Peace Action and our 25% Coalition partners will join with MoveOn for a rally in Boston at Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2011, at 4:00 PM. Ca</b>n you join us to make sure Senator Kerry hears our message, "Fund Our Communities, Not War," loud and clear?<br>

</b><br>
We will meet with Senator Kerry's staff on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2011, at 4:00 PM, in front of the Senator's office at One Bowdoin Square, Boston -- use the Bowdoin or Government Center T stops.<br>
<br>
MoveOn will be urging Senator Kerry as a member of the Super Committee to stand up to Republican hostage-taking and calling on him to support no cutbacks to social services and make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes. </p>
<p>Peace Action and the 25% Coalition will carry our "Fund Our Communities Not War" signs to say that the Super Committee must also end the wars and cut the military budget. <i><b>That's where the money is!</b></i></p>
