  • Although our leaders are under tremendous pressure to act in the aftermath of the terrible events of Sept. 11th, it's important to let them know that we support justice, not escalating violence, which would only play into the terrorists' hands. I hope you'll join me in signing an online statement of support for "Justice, not Terror" at:

    Thank you.  Your participation could really make a difference --
    it's vital that we all speak up now, before it's too late.
