This Is What a United Front Looks Like
By David Swanson
The “supplemental spending bill” in the House has peace groups against it because it funds the escalation of a war in Afghanistan that a majority of Americans oppose, makes us less safe, and kills human beings.

90 Congressional Candidates and National Organizations Oppose War Spending No Matter What Lipstick Is Applied to It
Sixty-six congressional candidates and 24 national organizations are opposing any more funding for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, no matter what unrelated measures are packaged into the same bill, and no matter whether the bill appears likely to pass or not. This position contrasts strongly with that of most incumbent congress members who “oppose” and “criticize” the wars.
