Petals for Peace is a creative and easy way to protest against the war in Iraq. People simply deliver a flower to their congress person on a selected day. So far we've delivered approximately 850 flowers over the course of seven days.

The next Petals for Peace day is Friday, July 7, 2006. Delivering a flower to Congressman Mike Rogers is easy. There are three methods of deliver: 1) Call it in. Bancroft Flowers will deliver for you (1-866-476-8608); 2) Personal delivery. Pick up a flower at Bancrofts (1417 E. Michigan Ave. Lansing) and walk it next door to Rogers' office (1327 E. Michigan Ave. Lansing, Michigan); or 3) Fax it. Draw a flower on regular paper and fax it to Rogers (517) 702-8642.

Be sure to send us an e-mail (tjayolson@hotmail.com) so we can count your flower delivery. We're trying to get to 1,000 flowers this time around. So tell a friend or two.

We're also focusing on other members of Congress. In a neighboring district to the one Mike Rogers represents, we're sending Petals for Peace to Rep. Joe Schwarz (MI-07 -- 6604 W. Saginaw Highway, Lansing, MI; Fax 517-327-7488). Through efforts on other blogs and websites to publicize Petals for Peace, we have learned that people are sending Petals for Peace to Rep. Bill Shuster (PA-09 -- 100 Lincoln Way East, Suite B, Chambersburg, PA -- Fax 717-264-0269). If you would like to participate in this unique and creative anti-war protest, you can send flowers to these or any other members of Congress, and be sure to let us know.

Thanks for joining in. Peace.
