PETITION
GOES
TO DEFAZIO
A petition to “Stop Bush’s War with Iran”
with the signatures of 1,180 constituents will
be delivered by local residents to the office of
Rep. Peter DeFazio at noon Thursday, Dec.
13. More than 160,000 people nationwide
have signed the petition, which was put for-
ward by MoveOn.org.
The Eugene action is one
of 330 events from
Oregon to Maine that
have been planned to de-
liver the petitions to
Congress.
“Last week, a White
House intelligence report
was released that proved
Iran stopped developing
nuclear weapons in 2003
— yet Bush is still hyping
war with Iran,” says
Michael Carrigan of
CALC, one of the organ-
izers of the Eugene ac-
tion. “He’s ignoring intel-
ligence and misleading
the public — the same tactics that got us into
the mess with Iraq. Congress needs to take
action and make crystal clear that the presi-
dent doesn’t have congressional approval to
start a war in Iran.”
Activists will meet with a DeFazio staff
representative to thank the congressman for
his ongoing and steadfast opposition to a U.S.
military strike against Iran and to urge him to
support HJR 64, sponsored by Rep. Neil
Abercrombie (D-Hawaii). This resolution
clarifies that the 2002 Authorization for the
Use of Military Force Against Iraq or any
other previous legislation or resolution does
not justify, allow or authorize military action
against Iran.
An identical resolution was introduced in
the Senate by Sen. Barack Obama.
“With Senate passage of the Kyl-
Lieberman amendment supporting the use of
our military to roll back Iran’s influence in
Iraq, and given President Bush’s evident be-
lief in an ‘imperial presidency,’ defining
terms is certainly prudent,” Abercrombie said
in a prepared statement. “Sen. Obama and I
agree that immediate action is needed that
leaves no room for the administration to use
military force against Iran without the spe-
cific authorization of Congress.”

HALEY WHITLEY
After graduation from Seattle University in
2006 with degrees in psychology and
Spanish, Haley Whitley took a vacation in
Pavones, Costa Rica, a remote town with
many foreign residents. “There’s an amaz-
ing surf break there,” says Whitely, who had
visited an aunt in Pavones when she was a
junior at South Eugene. “I bought a beat-up
surf board and fell in love with it.” When her
funds ran out, Whitley stayed on and made
ends meet by tutoring home-schooled kids
in English and offering community classes
at a local school. “No one was teaching
English,” she says. “Whatever I could pro-
vide was better than what they had. My
biggest class was 15 people, ages 10 to 50.”
Before she returned to Eugene in June of
‘07, Whitley and her college friend Raphel Weber, an ESL teacher, had founded
Escuela Camino Claro, a community education center. While Weber keeps class-
es going, Whitley is in Eugene planning an ECC fundraiser for Feb. 9 at the
Fenario Gallery, with music by Kudana and members of Reeble Jar, local wine
and beer and a silent auction. Learn about ECC at caminoclaro.org
