www.CollateralMurder.com just released a military-video from WikiLeaks that was obtained from someone in the military. This blood is on ALL of our hands. We are all paying for this and allowing this to continue on a daily basis. The irony of it all is that Vermont has an $87 million dollar deficit, yet the federal government is spending $1.5 billion Vermont tax-payer dollars annually to fund the United State's global military overstretch.
Our military machine is purely a subsidy for the oil and defense contractor industries. Vermont does not have a budget crisis, we have a foreign policy crisis. Do you support continuing to send $1.5 billion Vermont tax-payer dollars per year to subsidize the oil industry and if so, how do you justify that given Vermont's budget shortfall?
Vermont is slashing social programs, education and health care budgets, so that we can spend $1.5 billion per year to terrorize and murder people in Bagdad? For what? Didn't we get rid of Saddam years ago? Why are we there?
Personally, I cannot tolerate this and that is why I'm running for Vermont State Senate in Washington County to attempt to get Vermont to stand up to the federal insanity that is being forced down our throats.
And I am not alone, as there are at least 10 other independent candidates running for Vt offices state-wide, who share this perspective. Support this movement: JOIN US. Run for Vermont State Senate in your county. Spread the word.
