About
the Phone-a-thon
The
Call for Peace Phone-a-thon is a way
to draw Congressional attention to the Department of
Peace bill being re-introduced to the House of Representatives
Wed. Sept 14, 2005. People are pledging to call
their Rep. and both their Senators and ask
for their support of the Department of Peace bill.
Those
inspired to make a really big difference are signing
up 100 or more friends, family members and colleagues
to join the online Phone-a-thon. We
will send email reminders and talking points to everyone
who signs up online at right.
