Two brave Americans are now POW’s in Iran because of the reckless and illegal actions taken by this administration. End the forever wars for oil! Impeach the President for starting an illegal war and violating the constitution. Vote on April 16th for anti war candidate Analilia Mejia if you live in NJ11. Vote in the primary on June 2nd. And vote November 3rd for the Democratic Party ticket in NJ! We must stop this war, this administration, and the war crimes that are sure to come.

On a personal note: I was 4 years old when 9/11 happened. My mom was driving me to preschool through eagle rock reservation when we came upon a line of cars stopped at the top of the mountain. Everyone got out of their cars. My mother preceded to take me out of my car seat where we saw that something had hit the first tower. As we were standing there with other people the second plane visibly flew into the second tower. That was the day my brain turned on.

Our pain, our fear, and our grief was played upon by the Bush administration to lead us into an illegal war built on lies. The same thing is happening before our eyes again. I was 6 years old when we went into Afghanistan and was powerless to stop it. But today I’m 29 years old, and am actively involved in politics. I may not have the power to stop this war alone, but collectively our generation has the power to elect new leadership that can.

I urge you to become a part of the anti war movement. It can be as simple as talking to your friends and family about why this war is bad for them. Meet people where they are at. Warn them about the body bags that are already coming home. Warn them about the young people that will come home without limbs. Warn them about the young people that will come home traumatized. Warn them about the impact that this will have on their gas prices, their grocery prices, and their bank accounts.
