Kosova Task Force
Action Alert
4/29/99

Congress failed to clearly support or oppose the President on Kosova. 

While the House vote had no practical effect on NATO¹s air war, the vote on 
Resolution 21 served as the  first indication of where the Congress stands. 

It is vital to take decisive action by contacting our Congressional
Representatives and letting them know where we stand on this issue and how you
feel about his vote.  

IF YOUR CONGRESSPERSON  VOTED YES:
Thank him/her for standing up against genocide, and casting his/her vote for
justice. 
Also,  emphasize that air strikes is only a temporary solution, and  that 
resolution of this conflict lies only with Kosova independence and the arming of
the Kosovars so they can defend themselves. 

IF YOUR CONGRESSPERSON VOTED NO:
Express your dismay at this vote and ask him/her what solution, if any, he/she
has to offer to stop the genocide. Ask him/her  to vote now to arm Kosovars so
they can defend themselves. Emphasize the urgency of recognizing Kosova
independence and  insist that they provide you with an answer.

A member-by-member count of how the House voted can be found at:

or you can call us at the Kosova Task Force office: (312) 829-0087.

The first group of refugees from Macedonia to the US will arrive in Chicago on
Friday, April 30th.

A rally will be held on Sunday, May 2nd at the Federal Building in downtown
Chicago.
The Federal Building is located at the corner of Dearborn and Jackson and will
begin at 11:00 am.  Rallies so far will be held in 25 cities across the nation.
