John,
Besides the Taliban, the only party to come out victorious from our catastrophic defeat in Afghanistan was US military contractors. Of the more than $14 trillion that the US spent on the war in Afghanistan, Defense contractors pocketed more than half of that. In fact, if you invested $10,000 in Defense stocks in 2001 it would be worth almost $100,000 today.
Arm manufacturers need war to necessitate the purchase of their weapon systems. To get the wars they want and the Pentagon budgets they need, they fund politicians who not only vote to approve their budgets but who will also toe the line when it comes to fear-mongering about whoever is America’s newest threat.
Our opponent, Congressman Dwight Evan (D-PA), was among those who voted yes on the bill. This should not come as a surprise, as in just one election cycle, he received around $20,000 from members of the Military-industrial-complex like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics. |

Congressman Dwight Evans interests lie with the arms manufacturers, they are not with the men and women in uniform who will have to fight in the wars Washington drags them into. Will you chip in any amount to help me replace Dwight in Congress?
As I type this email, tensions are simmering along the border between Ukraine and Russia that threaten to engulf the region, and possibly even the world, in a massive armed conflict. Even if we make it through this current crisis, so long as Pro-War democrats like Evans continue to haunt the halls of our Congress, and the military-industrial-complex continues to back them, America remains at risk of being enmeshed in yet another costly and unnecessary foreign war. |
