President Obama said that it is “time to turn the page” on the occupation of Iraq.  The Green Party has been working for years to end this destructive war and looks forward to the day when all our troops have left. But we know that we cannot simply “turn the page” and turn attention elsewhere.  We have read some books, and we know that when you turn a page – although the scene changes slightly – the story stays the same.

Turn the page of the latest teen saga and the scene shifts from a coffee shop to the high school cafeteria, but the story stays the same.  Turn the page from Iraq to Afghanistan and the story – occupation to protect U.S. interests – stays the same.

Can you help us take out a new book about a real end of U.S. occupations?

Turn the page of the latest mystery thriller and the characters shift from computer hackers to police detectives, but the story stays the same.  Turn the page from “combat troops” to non-combat “advisors” and the story – destabilization and attacks precipitated by foreign forces – stays the same.

The Green Party demands real peace – not partial drawdowns and redeployments to different theaters – and calls for Americans to demand complete withdrawal from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

The Green Party offers candidates who truly understand that every million spent occupying foreign lands is another million that can’t be spent re-building our infrastructure, educating Americans, and fighting climate change.

Can you help us build a strong party that can support more candidates for local, state, and federal office?

The Green Party knows that turning the page on the decade-long invasion of Iraq will not change the story. We need your help to change the chapter and finally return the book on American occupations for a new one with a new cast of characters in Congress, your state legislature, and your city council.
Support the Green Party!
