From MoveOn.org;
This week, President Bush was caught actively misleading the nation on Iran—lying to get us into another reckless and disastrous war. His case for war has been discredited, and now is the moment to ask Congress to step in.
So next Thursday, December 13th, at events across the country, MoveOn members will deliver petitions asking Congress to make it clear that President Bush has no authority to strike Iran. We'll also urge Congress to investigate the new evidence that Bush has misled us on Iran—and hold him accountable.
So far, we don't have an event near you. Can you coordinate the Iran petition delivery event at Congressman John Olver's office on Thursday, December 13? It's easy and we'll tell you everything you need to know.

Organizing a petition delivery is simple—you just need to pick the congressional office you'll visit, print out signed petitions and other materials, and help folks deliver them to your representative.
And here's why stopping Bush's march to war is especially critical right now. All year President Bush has been saber-rattling against Iran and moving America closer to war. But this week we learned stunning news: Iran shut down its nuclear weapons program in 20031—and President Bush has known for months.2
Still, Bush is undeterred. Tuesday morning, he held a news conference where he actually tried to portray the news that Iran isn't building a bomb as yet another reason to confront Iran! 3 He also said he hadn't known about the new evidence until this past week—but his own National Security Adviser said he knew months ago.4
These new revelations have put Bush on the defensive, and this is the moment to demand that Congress to rein him in. Our elected representatives must make clear that Bush has no authority to go to war with Iran. Our events around the nation on December 13th will go a long way in getting Congress to send that message to President Bush.
Can you organize the Iran petition delivery event at Rep. Olver's office on Thursday, December 13th?
