Subject: [USC4P&J Members] Fw: [Ufpj-leg-action] Please sign and forward: Why is this petition different from 20 others?
Because it targets
the Pentagon and the wars,,,
As Congress Debates Cuts,
People Demand Jobs Not Wars!
JOBS NOT WAR
is a new national campaign that begins
RIGHT NOW!
And YOU can be be part of it.
JOBS NOT WAR is a time-limited, nation-wide petition
campaign to urge the president and congress to abandon austerity solutions to
the deficit and instead to end the war, cut military spending, tax the
super-rich, and redirect resources to restore and protect the social safety net,
create jobs, deal with climate change and meet other urgent social needs.
Over 70
organizations have come together to collect thousands of signatures
on an
on-line petition.
The petition demands the Congress and President –
End the war in Afghanistan now, bring all our troops home
and care for and support them upon their return.
Create good jobs at living wages: invest in our
communities and our people to sustainably grow the economy and put people back
to work.
Assure communities devastated by hurricane Sandy, that
reconstruction is performed in the public interest with full
transparency under the direction and control of local, state and federal
governments and is accountable to the people.
Redirect our nation’s resources from war and uncontrolled Pentagon
spending to fund social programs and public services, protect and
improve Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, repair the social safety net,
meet the challenge of climate change, and reduce poverty and inequality.
Require those at the top of the income ladder, giant corporations
and financial speculators to pay their fair share of taxes.

of the petition, click

The campaign seeks to forcefully inject the question of uncontrolled Pentagon
budgets and endless wars into the budget debate in Congress. The discussion in
Washington and the media ignores bloated war spending while focusing instead on
possible cuts to vital public services such as Social Security, Medicare and
Medicaid.
