Dear Mr. President,

Please accept these White Roses as a token of love from all of us who feel that the War in Iraq is unjust and we request you to withdraw from Iraq ASAP. We know you went into Iraq on false intelligence, but at least now that you acknowledge the fact, please do something about it. Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11.

For God's sake don't tell that you will "Stay on the Course" even if First Lady and Barney were the only people on your side. Apart from American lives, thousands of innocent people are losing their precious lives on a day to day basis. Please stop this War. We are all on your side.

Sometimes to accept the Truth is very difficult but it takes the most courageous to do it. I know you are a good man with family values and who believes in Christ. Follow Christ and show the world that you are a man of good heart. Save the lives of innocent children, women and men daily killed by your wrong decision. Please change the course and by that the course of history too.

This is the centenary year for the 'Satyagraha' started by Mahatma Gandhi on September 11th, 1906 in South Africa. We are starting 'American Satygraha' on this auspicious occasion to stop this War. Enough is enough; we are prepared to do fasting at the feet of Lincoln at Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC for this just cause. Please Stop this War.

With Love,

American Satyagrahis.

PS: The letter and the concept of American Satyagraha are inspired by "Lage Raho Munnabhai", an Indian film reminding all of us, the power of Satyagraha.

Who ever reads this and feel the cause is just please send this message to President at comments@whitehouse.gov

As per this statement: "We also request that gifts of a consumable nature, such as food, flowers, and other perishable items, not be sent to the White House due to the security screening process.", on WhiteHouse website we can't send in flowers to President so send the flowers and the message by e-mail.

Satyagraha:
Truth (Satya) implies love, and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. I thus began to call the Indian movement Satyagraha, that is to say, the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence.
- 11 September 1906, M. K. Gandhi : Satyagraha in South Africa {100 years:Centenary this year.}

American Satyagraha:
Send Flowers to the President and ask him to follow the path of Truth and Love for Mankind and end the unjust war in Iraq.
