On the 8th Anniversary of the Invasion of Afghanistan
TELL SENATOR MCCAIN “BRING THE TROOPS HOME FROM AFGHANISTAN”

WHERE: Senator McCain’s Office 5353 N 16th Street, Phoenix ( Just south of Missouri on 16th Street)

Senator Never Found a War He Did Not Want to Escalate McCain has called for 30,000 more troops to be sent to Afghanistan as part of a strategy of seemingly endless escalation in Afghanistan. We will tell Senator McCain to represent the 57% of Americans who, according to the September 1, 2009 CNN poll, oppose the Aftghanistan war.
President Bush wasted at leas t $642 billion dollars in the unnecessary Iraq war. This next year President Obama has requested $68 billion in military spending in Afghanistan, marking the first time more war funding will be spent in Afghanistan than in Iraq. Senator McCain, who beats the drum for bankruptcy-inducing endless war, loves to parade around as a “fiscal conservative” and “deficit hawk" when it comes to providing actual services to Americans. He supports endless war and occupation which burns trillions of dollars and turns us into a debtor nation, and then runs around lecturing everyone on the need to restrain spending. See the cost of the war to our community at www.costofwar. com. Let’s show Senator McCain that he does not represent our community!
