National Conference on War Powers, Law, and Democracy
October 2-3, 2009
Washington D.C.

Who decides about war and peace? Congress? The President? The Courts? The People?

What kind of national defense should the U.S. have? What type of military?

REGISTER NOW

whowarlogo“Who Decides About War” will be a national conference confronting essential questions raised by the U.S. invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. These questions are timely, as the political process that brought the United States into those wars is widely recognized today as having been flawed at best, dishonest at worst.

This engaging event will bring together activists and academics, public officials and veterans, lawyers and military families. We will use facilitated discussions, panel presentations, and workshops to accomplish two goals. First, to educate ourselves and each other about the issues involved, the state of the law, and alternatives. Second, to develop a statement of common principles leading to a more democratic, comprehensive, and durable national defense policy one that will honor the Constitution and help keep the United States from entering into unnecessary wars.

    Finally, some one with the guts to start talking about what is truely wrong with this country and our government. With the exception of a few congressmen & women like: Barney Frank, Bernie Sanders we would have absolutely no one in the house or the senate representing the true values and morals that most of us have.
    I am sick and tired of being represented by war mongering, tax dollar wasting, cival rights bashing, fear spreading, and out-right theiving idiots who dare to call themselves civil servents. I challange anyone to prove to me that our government, including the house, senate, the Fed, and the monster that is Big Business has any of our interests in mind.
    Take the health care debate. These public servents, who have a government run health care plan themselves, have the audacity to not pass health care reform that includes a public option.
    As far as the illegal occupations in Irac and Afghan, There is so much corruption involved in why we are over there is boggles the mind. Staring with the Bush/Dick crime rats. The massive theiving of tax payer dollars, the horrible loss of life, The loss of respect around the world all for a buck. How pathetic are we as a nation to let ourselves be represented by these greedy, moraly deprived individuals.
    If there is anything, anything at all that I can do to help this great effort to stop the unnecessary wars, please let me know.
    Thank you & God Bless the true America.
