Friend —

Friday marked 17 years since the United States' invasion of Iraq. A war of aggression, sold through blatant lies and grotesque manipulation of grief and fear following the attacks of September 11, 2001. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were the architects of that war, but can you guess who was one of their most effective salesmen?

Joe Biden. The very same Joe Biden that DNC elites are about to crown as their nominee to oppose Trump in November. This world deserves better than being forced to choose between two warmongers to lead us. The world needs the Green Party and our candidates to fight for People, Planet and Peace over Profit. Donate to the Green Party today and we will continue to lead that fight.

In the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq, while countless peace demonstrators gathered around the world to avert bloodshed, Biden shilled for war in the press and in Congress. He claimed the congressional authorization to invade Iraq was not a "rush to war" but instead a "march to peace and security."

Later, as Barack Obama's Vice President, Biden backed the expansion of war into more countries through constant drone attacks and unaccountable Special Forces operations.

Neither Biden nor the DNC leadership have learned anything in these 17 years. That might be because, in their eyes, everything went according to plan! They got their time at the steering wheel of US empire while enriching themselves and their financial backers. That's what they care about.

The Green Party cares about actual democracy, and we have backed up that commitment by rejecting corporate money since our very founding. In order to keep organizing and growing, we depend on amazing people like you. Please give today.

In Peace and Solidarity,
Green Party US
