We must ask members of Congress to vote against Resolution 125. The sanctions against Iraq are a humanitarian catastrophe for the Iraqi people. Sanctions were meant to pressure the Iraqi government, but instead the Iraqi people have been the victims. It is time this policy be changed. Equipment for rebuilding must be allowed into Iraq.
Chlorine is central to water purification and eliminating disease.
It is essential for public health. Threats of renewed military conflict are not likely to make the Iraqi government more cooperative with UN weapons inspectors.

The Joint Resolution is in both the House and Senate.
