      Anyone up for another generation of war?

·        “Our war in Afghanistan began almost 3,000 days ago, on October 7, 2001. [It] has lasted longer than World War I, World War II, the Civil War, the Korean War, the first Gulf War in Iraq and the second Gulf War in Iraq. If we are still fighting in Afghanistan a year from now, the war will have lasted longer than the American Revolution. Children who were born on the day the war began are now halfway through grammar school.”--William Rivers Pitt, Truthout.com, 3/27/09

    If you have had enough of dumb wars, call your Senators and Representatives at 202-224-3121, and tell them it is time to end the wars and bring our troops home. Call the White House at 202-456-1414, or leave a comment at 202-456-1111, or send a message to President Obama at www.whitehouse.gov/contact and tell him--No More Dumb Wars! The best way to support the troops is to bring them home--now.

     Maybe the change we have been waiting for is a President who actually listens to the American people. Let’s find out.
