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.
