Vote Against War
November 7, 2006
George Bush calls himself the War President, and indeed he has relentlessly waged a war in Iraq that has claimed more than 650,000 lives. But despite his unprecedented powers, he didn’t do it alone. Hundreds of senators and members of Congress voted him funding—$339,970,200 has been spent thus far—for this illegal war and occupation, and granted him supra-legal war powers, including the right to authorize torture and allow spying on his own citizens.
Americans Against the War (AAW) France calls on all those going to the polls today to vote only for candidates who are categorically against the ongoing war and occupation of Iraq and who vehemently oppose military intervention in Iran. If no such candidate is in the running, then AAW calls on voters to abstain.
That way candidates and elected officials will get the message: Americans want the war ended now; we don’t want to be involved in any other illegal wars of intervention; we want the war coffers to go toward improving schools, health care, housing; we want justice and human rights restored; and we want the war profiteers—the Bush cabinet and their corporate cronies—behind bars.
* VOTE ONLY FOR ANTIWAR CANDIDATES
* ABSTAIN IF NONE IS IN THE RUNNING
* TELL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WHY YOU VOTED AS YOU DID
