STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
We, having dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others
(a) Toward increasing public awareness of the costs of war.
(b) To restrain our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations
(c) To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons
(d) To seek justice for veterans and victims of war
(e) To abolish war as an instrument of national policy.
To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.
We urge all people who share this vision to join us.

  The death toll is rapidly rising in Afghanistan while President Bush and the corporate candidates only promise to send MORE troops—the anti-war movement needs to take a clear stand on this issue NOW. 

There is urgent need to shed light on America’s “other” war, to dispel the myth that the occupation of Afghanistan has any so-called humanitarian  cause, and to make the case for immediate withdrawal from Iraq AND Afghanistan.

Join us for a discussion on the current situation in Afghanistan as
well as what it will take to stop the war and occupation.
