In the meantime, Take Action to Stop War with Russia Today!
President Biden, we cannot risk a military confrontation between the United States and Russia, the world's most heavily armed nuclear nations. Do not send more troops to Eastern Europe to provoke Russia into a regional or world war that would spell disaster. Instead, call for a moratorium on NATO expansion, pull back our troops and missiles on Russia's borders, and seek a negotiated solution to the current crisis. Ukraine's people are divided and must decide their fate without U.S. intervention. After the fall of the Soviet Union, we could have dissolved NATO to ensure peace, but instead added 11 more countries once Soviet republics or Warsaw Pact members to NATO, forging closer ties between Russia and China and continuing a Cold War that threatens to break out into a hot war. Do not listen to the warmongers in Congress or in your administration. Advance peace through diplomacy.

Dear Representative _________
As your constituent in zip code _____, I urge you to write or sign on to a Member of Congress letter to President Biden, urging the President not to send more troops and weapons to Eastern Europe to risk war with Russia. Additionally, I ask you to NOT sign on to Congressman Meek's dangerous legislation H.R. 6470 to further embroil the U.S. militarily but to introduce legislation supporting a moratorium on NATO expansion.
I object to your hawkish and irresponsible coverage of the Ukraine crisis. Instead of featuring pro-war generals and pundits, invite guests to explain how NATO expansion and U.S. militarization have exacerbated tension in Eastern Europe. Your viewers deserve to hear another side to this story.
