Don’t Use Any More of Our Money
In the coming weeks, Congress will vote on spending $33 billion of your money to send another 30,000 troops, plus many more contractors, to Afghanistan.
We are inflicting horrible suffering on the people of Afghanistan, making our own nation less safe, and spending resources we badly need.
Tell congress members we need them to publicly commit to voting No, and to urge their colleagues to do the same. Call your Representative at (202) 224-3121.
Here’s a whip list tracking who has already committed to voting No and to publicly lobbying their colleagues to join them:

Video: Harvey Wasserman on Climate Bill, Hemp, Nukes, Teabaggery, and Solartopia
Harvey Wasserman spoke in Charlottesville, Va., on April 19, 2010. He discussed past activist successes and new strategies, and the vision of his book Solartopia, as well as the concerns expressed in his recent popular article "Will the Climate Bill Nuke Earth Day?" Wasserman laid out five key steps to fix the mess we’re in. You’ll want to hear them. Hint: one has to do with corporate power and another with wars.
