National Call-in for Diplomacy
By: Paige Michael-Shetley
Today, the Campaign for a New Policy on Iran, in conjunction with organizations such as DownsizeDC, are hosting a National Call-in for Diplomacy, in which people outside of D.C. are calling their representatives’ offices and demanding that the U.S. end years of hostilities toward Iran and begin unconditional diplomacy with them.
As a part of this campaign, Republican Congressman Ron Paul, Democratic Congresswoman Lynn Woosley, and Libertarian Party Presidential Nominee Bob Barr are using red phones set up in the Cannon Congressional Office Building to call directly to Iran to talk to people there. (As others were able to do in D.C. between the hours of 10 AM to 2 PM.) This is a historic opportunity to get the point across to our elected representatives that we want a foreign policy of diplomacy and good faith, not belligerence and distrust.
