Take a Stand Day

Take a Stand Day is a national event planned as the culmination of a summer-long campaign called Iraq Summer.  Iraq Summer has targeted John Sununu in New Hampshire since July 1 with a series of ongoing events aimed at keeping the Senator's summer a hot one.

From delivering letters to three of his offices asking him to attend this event, during which he would face his constituents in an open forum (he hasn't responded yet), to presenting him with a report card on his Iraq voting record (abysmal), to an upcoming series of Welcome Home events, Iraq Summer New Hampshire seeks to keep people aware that Sen. Sununu has sided with the Bush Administration rather than his constituents.

The campaign is organized by Americans Against Escalation in Iraq and the Campaign to Defend America, and designed to turn public opinion against the war in Iraq into political pressure on members of Congress who stand in the way of a responsible end to the war.

Iraq Summer is focused on causing the foundation of Republican support for the President's Iraq strategy to collapse. It's starting to crumble, but some pressure here in turning Sununu toward a clear exit strategy would hasten that collapse.

New Hampshire is the first state in many aspects; let's add to it the first state to have a united political front against the war in Iraq.

Join us for special guests (Sen. Sununu, you're still invited!), music, and the largest anti-Iraq War rally in New Hampshire!
