SMPA launched the following petition at Maplewoodstock on July 9, 2011:
Petition
to President Obama, Senators Lautenberg and Menendez and Congressmen Payne and Pascrell
Bring Our Troops Home and Rebuild America
It is time to bring our troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq, reduce nonessential military programs and redirect the resources saved to rebuild America. In this manner, we urge you to enact military spending cuts totaling $2.3 trillion over 10 years, as provided in the “People’s Budget” of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and to use the funds saved for job creation, education, the environment and deficit reduction.
To sign the petition, copy the above and paste it into an email and send to:
