… Or the next year, or the year after that
I’m going to keep this short. The $33 B (and increasing!) war escalation supplemental vote is coming this week, and PDAers with our allies have been leading the charge to get “No!” votes in Congress.
If you haven’t contacted your member of Congress recently about a “No” vote against this escalation, now is the time. Congress will vote this week. Click here.
Ever since PDA launched nearly six years ago, we have raised our voice on behalf of ending the occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. PDA has never been confused about the need to end these occupations. We have never slackened our advocacy, whether a Republican or a Democrat ran the Administration. We have kept up the push to end these wars, even when we stood mostly alone. Now, we must stand up and demand a “No” vote on this massive war escalation supplemental.
And earlier this year, PDA launched our very strategic series of Brown Bag Lunch Vigils in front of Congressional offices (more than 100 each month!) to keep the street heat on. Dennis Kucinich characterized the vigils as one of the most useful peace projects going on right now.
Help PDA fight this supplemental. We need all the voices we can raise to push back on the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.
And please join Dennis Kucinich — and other great progressive activists like Jim Hightower, Jeff Cohen, Donna Smith, Norman Solomon, Daniel Ellsberg, and many more — in Cleveland July 23rd–25th, at PDA’s Grassroots Leadership Conference, as we plan strategy for the next year. I think it’s going to be a very useful meeting, and I hope to see you there!

Join us as we fight together for jobs, healthcare, and windmills, NOT wars.
Peace,
Tim Carpenter
PDA National Director
