John,
Some politicians are telling us now isn't the time to speak frankly about Afghanistan. As a 13-year Marine veteran who served 3 deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, I'm not surprised.
For decades, elites told the American people we were winning this war. Later, they told us while Iraq was wrong, Afghanistan was the war worth fighting. They told us it was worth the lives, worth the money, worth the time. It was all lies.
Tell Congress: No more trillion-dollar wars for nothing. Sign the petition now.
I’ve always said one of the hardest parts of my deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan was coming home to my old neighborhood in Cole County, Missouri. Empty lots, abandoned buildings, a gutted Midwest. Our own communities look like battlefields after decades of economic warfare waged by corrupt politicians and massive corporations.
They spent $6.4 trillion in taxpayer dollars sending soldiers like me out to fight on a doomed mission to build up someone else's country — because they thought it made them look strong. Then they turned around and told us we can’t “afford” nation-building right here at home.
It’s time for this broken status quo to come to an end. We can’t let the same crooks and liars who got us into these pointless wars continue calling the shots in Congress. That’s why I’m running for U.S. Senate. It’s time for a people-powered movement to fight back.
John, will you do something now to show your support? Add your name to our petition to help send a message to Congress: No more wars for nothing.

Together, we’re going to end these pointless wars and invest in our own communities.
