My response to the DFA. #syria #assad #chemicalweapons

US military intervention in Syria will damage US reputation and the economy. It is an unwarranted intervention that Congress is not likely to approve, and it will not make Americans safer. Instead it will expose the the country to the same blowback and hostility that we have been seeing for more than 10 years. This is not the right time for the US to police international agreements. Finally, US military intervention is not supported by the American people. This plan should be set aside, for more pressing matters.

I just signed "No War With Syria" and I hope you will too!
http://www.democrats.com/no-syria-war?source=proclus%40gnu-darwin.org

My Personal Note:
Background:


Most Americans oppose a Syria War - and I am one of them.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were disastrous, both in human and economic terms. War in Syria is likely to be even worse.

We have no idea who we're fighting for - Al Qaeda?

Moreover we already have a federal budget crisis that is causing devastating cuts to food stamps, Head Start, and other crucial programs. We have absolutely no money for a new Syria War.

A U.S. war is not the solution to Syria's civil war - we need increased diplomacy instead.

As your constituent, I demand that you vote against a Syria War, and block any funds for any military actions that could start such a war.

As citizens, our collective actions make an enormous difference. I hope you'll join me!

Free Brad - #manning

The Bradley Manning trial shows again that the concept of US justice is a complete joke.   Bradley Manning has sadly shown us another truth. US justice is a mockery.   We will never forget Bradley Manning. We will never forget the abuse that he received from the US.  These jackals have delivered their disgusting brand of "jurisprudence" to Bradley Manning.  That so-called judge should bend over and kiss Bradley Manning's fanny.  US wipes out 1 million is South Asia, then calls Bradley Manning 'wanton', 'reckless', and 'dangerous'. Sheesh!  Clearly, the lack of moral character does not reside in Bradley Manning.  People look at what the US has done to Bradley Manning and they say, "Never again".  This travesty of justice will not stop what Bradley Manning started. Many have adopted his worldview and motivations.  The US will have one man in prison. Bradley Manning will have billions of supporters.

Tell Congress: Say NO to "NAFTA on steroids"

Ban Hydraulic Fracturing on All Public Lands, President Obama

Hi,

I signed a petition to Sally Jewell and President Barack Obama which says:

"I am calling for an immediate ban on oil and gas fracking on all federal lands. The Bureau of Land Management's draft rules for fracking on public lands fail to protect the water we drink, the air we breathe, the climate we depend on, and the land many of us call home. This land is our land and should be managed for the good of the people, not corporate profits for the oil and gas industry.
"

Will you sign this petition? Click here:
