Take action to stop the war in Iraq now. Join thousands of others in sending the message: Feed Iraq, don't bomb them.
Say NO to war!
Other anti-war groups, please pick up this campaign!
In the 1950's, tens of thousands of people sent small bags of rice to President Eisenhower convincing him not to attack China. Now a nationwide effort has been launched to send the same message to President Bush about Iraq. If we are going to send something to Iraq it should be food, not bombs.
Send a half cup of uncooked rice with the message "Rice for Peace - No War On Iraq" on the outside of the package.
Mail now to:
President George Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington DC 20500
Email RiceReport@RiceForPeace.org
with your city and state so they can count your message for peace.

One of the best resources for information about war in the Middle East is the website of the Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace. Its great strength is preservation of media articles to create an up-to-date historical record, particularly about Palestine/Israel and Iraq. The website is here:

Please use padded envelopes or sturdy boxes when sending rice. Some envelopes have broken open in the mail system scaring postal workers. This is not the goal of the campaign! Please package carefully, include return address and label on the OUTSIDE "Rice For Peace - No War On Iraq". Also, send rice reports to RiceForPeace@indra.com. Our other e-mail address is not working. Thanks!
