Message To America's Students: The War, The Draft, Your Future

From : tbone

Q: lol what did i tell you. all that crap before about the bogus email was nothing more than pure spam and anyone that votes for this idiot is an even bigger idiot. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving we have been down this road before. u.s. troops sent to war half a world away. american foreign policy controlled by an arrogant elite bent on projecting military power around the globe. a public misled into supporting an unconstitutional war founded on deceit and fabrications. as the death toll mounts we hear claims that the war is nearly won that victory is just around the corner. but victory never arrives. as the public loses confidence in the government the government questions the patriotism of any who express doubt about the war. when a presidential election arrives both the democrat and republican nominees embrace the policy of continued war. the military draft comes to dominate the lives of americas young and vast numbers who believe the war to be a senseless blunder are faced with fighting a war they do not believe in or facing exile or prison. the year was 1968. because voters had no choice that november the vietnam war continued for another six years. hundreds of thousands of americans like you died were maimed or suffered from diseases like malaria. a far greater number of vietnamese died. today the war is in the quicksands and alleys of iraq. once again under the pressure of a determined resistance we see an american war policy being slowly torn apart at the seams while the candidates urge us to stay the course in this tragic misadventure. todays presidential candidates are not nixon and humphrey they are now bush and kerry. once again there is one overriding truth if war is the only choice in this election then war we will have. today enlistments in the reserves and national guard are declining. the pentagon is quietly recruiting new members to fill local draft boards as the machinery for drafting a new generation of young americans is being quietly put into place. young americans need to know that a train is coming and it could run over their generation in the same way that the vietnam war devastated the lives of those who came of age in the sixties. i am running for president and have been against this war from the beginning. we must not waste lives in order to control and waste more oil. stand with us and we may yet salvage your future and americas future from this looming disaster. sincerely ralph nader http//www.votenader.org -- memorial institute. a.j. muste was a peace advocate who compiled frequent flier miles visiting hanoi during the vietnam war era. the muste foundation funds groups like the war resisters league school of the americas watch nicaragua solidarity network international peace bureau international fellowship of reconciliation coalition for human rights of immigrants and wilpf. nion castro and islamist terror the interreligous foundation for community organization is a pro-castro proxy group. members of their staff such as lucius walker executive director marilyn clement treasurer and ellen bernstein grants administrator are all castrophiles in havana in november 2000 lucius walker proclaimed long live the creative example of the cuban revolution! long live the wisdom and heartfelt concern for the poor of the world by fidel castro! this was a follow-up to his pro-castro speech in 1996 commemorating the 75th anniversary of the communist party usa. marilyn clement is a co-organizer of the wilpfs sister-to-sister cuba project. the wilpf also issued a condemnation of clintons cuba policy in 1998. bernstein was also quoted as saying she believes cuba is the paradigm of democracy. ifco does not limit its activity to pro-castro factions though. its management maintains relationships with extremist islamist groups as well. walker travels frequently to iraq usually alongside ramsey clark. ifco is a member of answer steering committee. bernstein is a member of the american muslim councils campaign against the use of secret evidence. clement met with palestinians during a wilpf solidarity conference in may 2002. ifco is also a fiscal sponsor of the national coalition to protect political freedom ncppf. the co-founder of ncppf was the recently indicted terrorist financier sami al-arian. however nions links with muslim terrorists are not just indirect t .
