Help Spread the Word: Dubya on the Way Out

Jun 27, 2007

Dear Friend,

After the damage wrought by the Bush administration over the past six and a half years, the time has finally come to think about what the world will look like on January 20, 2009 – the day we swear in a new President of the United States of America.

That is why last week, Council for a Livable World and other activist organizations sent Lieutenant General Robert G. Gard, Jr. (USA, ret.) and Brigadier General John Johns (USA, ret.) to New Hampshire to advocate responsible exit strategies from Iraq.

Watch the Generals’ appearance on Political Chowder, a political talk show set to run on C-Span’s “Road to the White House,” by clicking here and skipping to minute 6:50 on the video.

Help us continue to spread the anti-war message to key states in the 2008 presidential election. Please consider a contribution of $25, $50, or $100 to Council for a Livable World to help us keep sending the Generals to critical battleground states.

The Generals spoke at packed town hall meetings in Manchester and Keene, met with editorial boards of local newspapers, and were interviewed on several radio and television shows.

You can also listen to a podcast recording of General John Johns’s appearance on WSMN radio’s Woody Woodland Show by clicking here.

The trip resulted in newspaper articles in many of the major regional newspapers, including the Concord Monitor, Foster’s Daily Democrat, Nashua Telegraph, Knox County Times, and Boston Globe. The message presented by the Generals, both of whom are affiliated with the Council for a Livable World and its sister organization, Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, could not have been stronger.

“These troops are not expendable commodities to fulfill the pipe-dream vision of a group of people trying to remake the world in our image,” General Gard said. “It's time for us to get the hell out of there.”

We couldn’t agree more with General Gard, a decorated combat veteran with 31 years of military service. But we need your help to spread our message of post-George W. Bush renewal to the key primary and caucus states of New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina.

Please consider a contribution of $25, $50, or $100 to Council for a Livable World to help us keep sending the Generals to critical battleground states.

Sincerely,

John Isaacs and Guy Stevens
