We told President Obama “No more Wars”
at the Rally in DC on Dec. 12 (Click for video)

President Obama has just announced he will be sending another 30,000  troops to Afghanistan.  That’s 30,000 more American men and women ripped from their communities and families, and placed in harm’s way, to fight a war that history proves cannot be won.

We cannot sit back and allow this escalation to occur.

On Dec . 12 I traveled with other Mainers to Washington DC where I stood with 2008 Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, activist blogger and author David Swanson, and many others in a Stop the Escalation Rally in Lafayette Park. For more information go to http://www.enduswars.org.

As I said in a statement issued by the Green Party of the U.S.:
This escalation is what Obama’s fabled bi-partisanship gets us — more of the same.
What we need is partisanship, with a strong Green Party presence in this country, since we are the only party that was against the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan from day one.

In peace,
