Peace groups in the Fresno area are targeting Democratic congressman Jim Costa this month.  They want Costa to change his position on the war/occupation of Iraq and vote to cut off funding. </DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
A September 7 email sent out by Peace Fresno president Bill Simon, stated that the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), MoveOn.org, Codepink, and Peace Fresno will be working together to "pressure Democratic Representative Jim Costa to vote NO on the September bill to continue funding the occupation of Iraq."  Simon wrote that "each group will take one day a week to picket in front of Costa's office and perhaps to go into the office to say 'No more funding'. We will also encourage passers by to call their Congressman and Senators."</DIV>
