Dear CODEPINKer,

There are news reports that on Decembers 1st, Obama will be at West Point to announce that he is sending tens of thousands more troops to Afghanistan, this despite our rallies, vigils, petitions, phone calls and e-mails saying NO to MORE WAR. We can't let generals and war profiteers be the only ones who have the President's ear.

Obama needs to hear our voices loud and clear. Now is the time to take to the streets, the airwaves, and the opinion pages to say NO to escalation, NO to massive corruption and war profiteering, NO to bombs dropped on Afghan wedding parties, and no to money squandered on war and occupation while the needs of people in this country go unmet.

We have made a powerful “Hopeless Escalation” visual that you can use to create a sign for your office, your window, or your car.

You can send “Hopeless Escalation” as an e-card to your friends and family. Or try making a banner to hang from a freeway overpass!

Whatever you decide to do--do it now!

Raise your voices to join those of Ambassador Eikenberry, Captain Matthew Hoh, The California Democratic Party, Afghan parliamentarian Malalai Joya, Pakistan's Prime Minister, and 54% of US voters, all of them saying NO.
