<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Dear friends,</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">With a second aircraft carrier group steaming toward the Persian Gulf, tens of thousands of US troops stationed throughout the region, and the sale of tens of billions of dollars in US weapons to Iran's neighbors in the Gulf region, it seems that war with Iran could be imminent.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">But we won't wait for the bombs to drop to make our voices heard. <strong>This Saturday, Boston will be one of 48 cities to hold emergency demonstrations to stop a war in Iran. <a href="http://justicewithpeace.org/node/3429">Please join UJP and other antiwar groups at Park Street at 1pm</a>!</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Over the next few weeks, we also want to generate thousands of signatures to counter the war drums. We will then deliver our petitions to the White House.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><a target="_blank" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qU7uZRV%2BYtWEYCn206N%2F8pQEm6hSweBe">Please take a moment to sign a petition calling on the President to use all means at his disposal to prevent a military strike on Iran - by either the US or Israel.</a></p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">We know we can impact the President's efforts to prevent an attack by Israel if we act right away.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">We have a two week window to take a stand against any military strike on Iran that will strengthen our hand and counter calls from the extreme right to make war. We are already seeing Republican Presidential candidates stumbling over each other to prove they are more willing to use military force than their opponents.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">In the past few weeks, administration officials have been meeting with Israeli military and civilian leaders because of increasing concern Israel is preparing to take military action against Iran.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">You would hope our 'leaders' have learned their lesson. The unintended consequences that plagued the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan are surely at play with regard to Iran. The Obama administration has shown some patience in its search for a diplomatic resolution to the crisis over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program, but at the moment tensions are running high.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">Earlier this month, Iran announced it had begun enriching uranium at the Fordow underground nuclear facility near the holy city of Qom, a move many view as crossing one of Israel's lines in the sand increasing the risk of military action, despite Israel’s claim such an attack is ‘far off’.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><a target="_blank" href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qbr4Sd4VJcmkzTTmqQFsearcB%2F8G%2B4gX">We can't afford to wait. Please sign our petition to prevent war with Iran today, and get your friends on board as well. We really can make a difference by acting before the crisis escalates out of control.</a></p>
