Connecting the Dots: Iran, China, and the Challenge to U.S. Hegemony:
CIA HANDS OFF BOLIVIA and VENEZUELA !!
Where will it be?
The Military-Industrial Complex is salivating for its next meal.
Will it be against North Korea? Iran? Venezuela? Bolivia?
Will it continue in Syria? Yemen?
Someone might sink a U.S. warship in the Persian Gulf, killing hundreds of sailers, and blame it on Iran to start a war.
Support a conversion from a weapons economy to a climate-saving economy.
We need jobs in clean energy, not more weapons

CALL CONGRESS OFTEN:
Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121on on Militarization of the Po
Demilitarize Police Bill
The legislation (S.2252) by Sens.Schatz, Murkowski, Harris and Paul is slated for a vote the week of July 20 in the Senate.
This bill has bipartisan support. Sen. Chris Van Hollen is among the 15 co-sponsors. We need to get Sen. Ben Cardin on board as well.
On the House side, companion legislation #622 by Rep. Johnson might get a vote. Current co-sponsors include Rep. Anthony Brown. We need to get the other members of the Maryland delegation to the U.S. House to join Rep. Brown in co-sponsoring this legislation.
Please take the following actions:
Call Sen. Cardin and ask him to join Sen. Van Hollen in supporting Schatz-Murkowski-Harris-Paul 1033 program reform - S.2252. Call your U.S. House representative and ask him to join Rep. Brown in supporting Rep. Johnson’s #622. The Congressional switchboard is 202-224-3121.
We have a shot at winning on this issue.
