Dear
All,
The
U.S. Congress is considering another "Authorization for the Use of Military
Force" -- a broad approval for more war.
This
is the last thing we need. These wars are not making us safer but generating
enemies. They are not surgical operations, but mass killings, as well as
assaults on the natural environment and the public budget -- not to mention
excuses for curtailing civil liberties.
Please
click here to sign the following statement for delivery to the
media and Congress:
We
oppose any new authorization for the use of military force and call for the
immediate repeal of the authorizations passed by Congress in 2001 and 2002.
This
petition will be a powerful tool as it is being jointly promoted by Conference
of Major Superiors of Men, Iraq Veterans Against the War, KnowDrones.com,
Military Families Speak Out, Peace Action, Peace Action Montgomery,
RootsAction.org, United National Antiwar Coalition, Upstate Coalition to Ground
the Drones, U.S. Labor Against the War, and World Beyond War.
After
signing the petition, please forward this message to your friends. You can also
share it from the webpage after taking the action yourself.
Humbly
for Peace,
Kevin
Martin Executive Director Peace Action
P.S.
This petition was created by RootsAction. RootsAction is an independent online
force endorsed by Jim Hightower, Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Daniel
Ellsberg, Glenn Greenwald, Naomi Klein, Bill Fletcher Jr., Laura Flanders,
former U.S. Senator James Abourezk, Coleen Rowley, Frances Fox Piven, and many
others.
