Dear Friends, I am supporting my friend Bob McCloskey for U.S. Congress. Bob is against this war in Iraq. He is for bringing the troops home now. Bob has been speaking out against U.S. wars ever since I first met him and his wife Linda Tubach when they returned from a trip to Iraq in 2000. They came and spoke at the Santa Monica Unitarian Church about the conditions the Iraqi people were living in under the sanctions. They told us how 5,000 children were dying in Iraq every month due to the sanctions placed on them by the United States & England. This was when Clinton was president. Bob tells it how it is. He is a good man. I worked with both Bob and Linda in the Save The Iraq Children Coalition years before this latest war in Iraq.

PDA Endorses Bob McCloskey in CA's 29th CD http://pdamerica.org/articles/campaigns/mccloskey.php Bob McCloskey <http://pdamerica.org/images/candidates/mccloskey.jpg> Bob McCloskey Bob McCloskey is a long time peace and justice activist. For twenty years he fought for working men and women in the labor movement as a Union Representative for SEIU. He is running for Congress on progressive values of justice and peace. He supports immediate withdrawal of US forces from Iraq, working to establish a multinational force to keep Iraq secure, and increasing efforts to rebuild. Plans to create permanent military bases in Iraq and plans to control Iraq's oil must be renounced. Plans to attack Iran must also be abandoned and the doctrine of pre-emptive war must be abolished. The future economic crisis caused by record Federal deficits, record trade deficits, record consumer debt, the rising cost of energy, and global warming must be addressed. He will work to create jobs, restore incomes, and reduce debt. He will fight to repeal tax cuts for the wealthy, and give tax relief to struggling families. He will work to provide incentives to corporations for developing alternative energy and keeping jobs in the US. And, he will fight to reduce the bloated "defense" budget. He will work to end the influence of military contractors, corporations, insurance companies, and other special interests on our government and he will fight for "Clean Election" legislation and public financing for all candidates. He will protect our civil liberties. The passage of PATRIOT Acts I and II allows for warrant less search and seizures, the collection of information on what people read, the seizure of business and financial records, and the monitoring of emails, and he will work for its repeal. He will support efforts to impeach the President. He supports universal healthcare, a woman's right to choose, raising the minimum wage, amnesty for immigrants, the repeal of NAFTA and equal rights for gays and lesbians. He opposes the death penalty and supports reform of the criminal justice system.
