CEASE the WAR.

War harms children where ever they are, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and here in the US.
Let the President know, contact your legislators, write to your newspapers.
We must change our violent ways, bring home the troops and the dollars wasted in destruction. Children everywhere need those dollars to make their world a place to grow and play in health and hope. Go to www.peace-action.org and join the Leave No Soldier Behind Campaign.

Join and participate in our e-mail activist group ACT4CEASE. To learn more see our Take Action section.
