Thousands of American military families lost everything in Iraq just so George W. Bush’s friends -- Big Oil, Wall Street, and defense contractors -- could rake in billions.

They lied to start the war. They lied to keep us at war. And I know, because I was there.

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. Can you make a donation to my grassroots campaign today?

I led a team of Marines training Iraqi security forces to defend their country. When I arrived, I received a "stoplight" chart on their supposed capabilities in dozens of missions and responsibilities.

Green = Good. Yellow = Needs improvement. Red = They couldn’t do it at all.

On paper, everything looked great -- but then I started working with them. It was a disaster. I tried to adjust the charts to reflect reality, but got shut down. Ratings couldn't go down. DC needed "progress." Lies like that kept the war going -- and it was a culture from the top.

We sacrificed 4,000+ American soldiers and trillions of dollars so we could fight, die, and "nation build" in Iraq. But even to this day, the criminals who led us there continue to lie about their real goals: Big profits for Big Oil, defense contractors, lobbyists, and even members of Congress who owned stock.

Bipartisan majorities in Congress and presidents from both parties sacrificed trillions of dollars and thousands of lives to keep us in these forever wars -- all while telling us we can’t afford to invest even a fraction of that same amount into our country here at home.

While everyday Americans have been fighting, dying, and building up someone else’s country who doesn’t even want us there, our politicians have been selling us out here at home. They let giant multinational corporations buy up our land, ship away our jobs, and strip our communities for parts. And with each new conflict, we rely more and more on giant corporations who turn death and devastation into profit at every opportunity.

It’s time for this broken status quo to come to an end.

So please, will you add a donation of any amount to my grassroots campaign today? I don’t take a cent from corporate PACs, federal lobbyists, or any other corrupt elite determined to strip our country for parts -- so anything you’re able to contribute means the world to me.

Together, we’re going to end these pointless forever wars and nation build America.

Thanks for all your support,
