Though some people have already spoken to their Dail representatives about this issue before, there is a need for a more forceful effort this time. Contact your local TDs, speak to them directly and write to them, calling on them to vote against Ireland's participation in war and against US military overflights and stopovers.

It doesn't matter what you may think of politicians, or how representative you feel they are/aren't really. If you contact their office and find out when you can meet with them to discuss this pressing issue with them, you'll probably find that they prick up their ears somewhat.

Help them find the moral courage to resist their party wip, which may ask them to vote in favour of more destruction and slaughter in Iraq. Get a response from them in writing - send it on to the local media too, as part of a reader's letter or press release.
