How's Your War Going?

The War in Iraq is a disaster, the war on terrorism is a sham, just like its cousin the war on drugs.

We were winning the war on poverty, but Reagan and all of his successors have dismantled that machine.

Statistics taken from icasualties.org.

Most of these three thousand dead have died after the war was considered over!

How much more victory can we stand?

We cannot afford to stay in the war. Americans need to demand an end to it.

Please celebrate this fourth anniversary of the War by calling your congressional delegation and demanding action.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

Released as a song to protest the Vietnam War, "Happy Xmas" remains as vital today as it's singer and his legacy. War is over, if you want it:



End the war!

From wikipedia.org:

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) is a song that was written by John Lennon with partial help from Yoko Ono. It was recorded at the Record Plant in New York City in late October of 1971, with the help of producer Phil Spector. It features soaring, heavily echoed vocals, and a sing-along chorus. The children singing in the background were from the Harlem Community Choir and are credited on the song's single. . . . (more)
