(The director Robert Greenwald recorded this message especially for Blue Mass Group readers (that's you, yeah you, behind the screen, making change with pixels and mouse taps) and, more generally, for voters here in Massachusetts -- thus not only giving voice to an excellent message, but also helping to show how advocacy campaigns can use blogs and new technology.

We are four votes away from a huge victory for the anti-war movement, and you can make that happen. A huge emergency war supplemental bill is moving through congress, and the House of Representatives is expected to vote tomorrow. Many of your representatives from Massachusetts have committed to voting against any war spending that doesn't include funds for withdrawal. This bill does not.
I am in the process of making my latest film, 'Rethink Afghanistan,' and I recently returned from Kabul, Afghanistan. The things I learned there confirmed my belief that our efforts in Afghanistan are badly flawed. We must bring everyone back to the table to develop a new strategy - including an exit - and put it in to place before we send 21,000 more troops into harm's way and commit another $100 billion to this misadventure.
You are the one who can make that happen. Today is the day. Please pick up the phone and end this war. 202-224-3121.
