weekend in California to raise money for the National Veterans
Foundation. I'm an Air Force veteran, and I have great respect for the
military. I like to support the soldiers whenever I can. But I don't
support this war in Iraq.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b><font color="#ff0099">I
was against the war before it started. I always thought it was a
terrible decision, badly thought out, badly planned, and then horribly
executed. </font></b></font></p>
<p><font color="#333333"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I want to see our troops
come home right away, and so do most Americans. Unfortunately, too many
politicians in both parties refuse to listen.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">So when will the troops
come home? When we won't put up with it anymore-when we change our
government. And how will we do that? By voting the bastards out! <font
color="#ff0099"><b>On November 7, you should vote for anyone who's
against the war and vote against anyone who's for the war. It's that
simple. </b></font></font></p>

wrote the song "<a

target="_blank"><font color="#ff0099">Whatever Happened to Peace on
Earth</font></a>" at Christmastime in 2003, a lot of people were for
the war, a lot of people didn't know the facts or the truth. But people
are waking up now. They're learning that they were lied to about the
war. They're feeling lied to about this Mark Foley scandal in terms of
who knew what and when. They're questioning the leadership in this
country.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333"
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">And that gives us new
possibilities for November 7th. If we all go out and vote for peace
candidates and get our friends to vote, and if our votes are really
counted, it's no contest. There'll be a change in the Congress, and
then we'll just have to keep building so we can get a president who
won't send our soldiers to fight a war based on lies. </font></p>

our <b><font color="#ff0099">Give Peace a Vote</font></b> campaign and
spreading <font color="#ff0099">pink</font> messages of peace.
Peacemakers around the country have been flocking to concerts and movie
openings and family events with clipboards in hand to encourage people
in their communities to sign our Peace Vote Pledge. Just last week, a <font

Pasadena convinced their Congressman Adam Schiff to change his mind
about the war!</font></p>
