John,
The U.S. military has long tapped a certain segment of the population for recruits - the impoverished.
Kids from poor rural backgrounds, kids from poor urban neighborhoods - kids with few ways out of the cycle of poverty that’s long kept their families down. I speak from experience; as a young man from a poor background, I signed up for the military as a way out. The military doesn’t need a draft as long as this country continues to oppress the poor and push them into desperation.
While the U.S. once again careens toward aggression in the Middle East, recruiters will be hard at work, tapping poor and working class neighborhoods for the human capital the military needs to fight Trump’s war. Those kids will pay with their lives, and their families will bear the loss.
It’s time to elect a Congress that won’t let this country choose war over peace. A Congress that won’t let funds that could be used to break the cycle of poverty be used for war instead. My opponent, incumbent Danny K. Davis, can’t be trusted to do the right thing - he voted for Trump’s $738 billion military budget.
Help us create the Congress we need to protect people. |

What will be the cost of these wars if we don’t elect a brand-new Congress that puts an end to the madness caused by Trump and his lies? Another expensive war that kills thousands more Americans and innocent people abroad.
Saving this country from the many costs of war will take all of us, working together, to fundamentally change this inhumane system. Will you stand with us today and say no to war?
In solidarity, Anthony |
