Syria and Iraq: Oppose Endless War!

Message: 

President Obama just sent a new Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) to Congress. This broad declaration of war would drag the U.S. back into an endless, bloody, and expensive war in the Middle East. Please urge Congress to oppose the declaration of endless, worldwide war:

"If we do not understand that war is never a war primarily against other nations but primarily against the common people in the home country, we cannot effectively put a stop to it.
War impoverishes everyone except a small ruling clique in each country.
The common people have the strength to stop a war any time.
Only instilled confusion to keep us thinking that we are a national body instead of the highly oppressive class structure that is the reality, only this and the patterns of powerlessness have kept us from stopping wars that firmly.
We, the working-class, farmers, intellectuals, middle-class, and the owning-class individuals who have transcended their class position to join us, must come to understand the class nature of war, or we can once again be led by the nose, in the name of patriotism, to our own destruction."
