Throughout the 17 years that prisoners have been held at Guantanamo, the National Defense Authorization Act has included amendments preventing their transfer for trial -- or even for medical treatment. This year can be different. The National Religious Campaign Against Torture offers this customizable letter asking your members of Congress to lift the restrictions: nrcat.salsalabs.org/takeaction-guantanamo-may2019/index.html |

This today from CodePink, urging that the 2020 Democratic candidates focus on our wars and excessive military budget: www.codepink.org/2020_no_weapons_money?utm_campaign=moral_budget_national_alert&utm_medium=email&utm_source=codepink#newmode-embed-9375-10551I shortened their message to: “Only a candidate who commits to ending our endless wars and reducing our bloated, wasteful military budget will get my vote for President in 2020. I am requesting your commitment to both cut bloated Pentagon spending by $350 billion annually and redirect the savings to the human needs of our communities, and to refuse all campaign contributions from PACs representing the top U.S. weapons manufacturers: Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics. By bringing home war spending, community members will finally have the tools we need for a healthy society, including competitive schools, comprehensive health care, and affordable housing. “ |
