A group of Chicago aldermen have prepared a resolution for the Chicago City Council opposing war on Iran. They are setting an example that can be duplicated across the nation. Read this article, study this matter and determined what you need to do in your own city to get the local government to take a stand on this issue. Try to make your local elected officials aware of the facts about US hostilities toward Iran with this article and other information you can find. They are not likely to have gotten much factual information from the mainstream mudia. They should be somewhat aware that the Iraq war has had a substantially negative effect on local matters just with the increase of fuel cost alone. A US attack on Iran would cause even greater deterioration at the local level.

From the article:
As someone who has been urging focused citizen activism for some time now, I find it heartening that there are those in the United States who put action to words and seek to lead by example. This is the case with Chicago Alderman Joe Moore, who, together with seven of his 49 colleagues (Toni Preckwinkle, Sandi Jackson, Eugene Schulter, Robert Fioretti, Freddrenna Lyle, Ricardo Munoz and Mary Ann Smith), has prepared a resolution for the Chicago City Council opposing war on Iran. By itself, this resolution most probably will not serve to alter the policies currently being pursued by the Bush administration. But when a great American city such as Chicago takes the lead in expressing its rejection of irresponsible national policy, other cities should, and will, take notice.

They missed one resolution

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any resident of the City of Chicago shall be indicted and charged with murder or as an accessory to murder should they participate in any way whatsoever with an attack on Iran.

Now it is complete!

By the way, have you ever read The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran?
