so all those serving in the Army and the
Marines and the Air Force and the Navy
so you have the absolute right to refuse
to take part in these criminal wars and
that's a right that all of you should
exercise you have no reason to go imperil
your life on the lie and kill and die for
profit we've been to Iraq we've been to
Afghanistan and we know what these words
are really about and we joined the
military for many reasons because we
need a college education because we need
a job because you need health care and
then we joined the military and they
told us that our enemies are poor people
in caves and Afghanistan or poor people
and dungeons of Iraq and we've been to those countries
and we know that our enemies are
not other poor people abroad or
innocent people don't ladies lost my job
doc tinnitus health care Finnegan plus
loot and education or enemies are not in
the poorest countries on the planet but
right here in the lectures 10 not his
ward the occupation of Iraq and
Afghanistan alone are costing over seven
hundred million dollars every single day
this is a crime every single day while
so many of us are hurting well I think
all of us here and the vast majority of
people in this country would agree that
we can spend seven hundred million
dollars a day better than farming people
that we have no reason to bomb we can
send some one hundred million dollars a
day rebuilding those countries we've
destroyed we have said seven hundred
million dollars a day caring for
veterans we get home when they get home
run in between spent 700 million dollars
a day giving every single person
healthcare apologetic ation a job and a
livelihood and all data we need to be
spending our money
but this government is not going to do
that they're not going to use the money
in that way they're not going to end the
wars and they're not going to do it get
is not our government it's their
government and the government of the
wreck it's a government of Wall Street
of the oil giant of the defense
contractors it's their governing the
only language that they understand and
shutting down business as usual and
that's we're doing here today we're
going to continue to do until these wars
are over well it crystal clear now that
these wars are going to continue and
expand and go into other countries that
is the trend that is what we know that
there is perpetual war and it's only
going to stop if the people stand up and
stop it and that's what we're going to
do sister brothers and a lot of people
ask me what do we do because we all know
things are bad we all see the atrocities
on TV we read about it we experience it
people want out what do I do who is what
I know what to do do we both do we
support a politician what yo do we join
an organization what do we do well tell
you what we do it simple we fight we
fight and we fight and we fight and we
shut down our workplaces we shut down
our spoons we shut down the street we
shut down business as usual and we fight
until we force the people in there did
you want the people out here was that's
what we're going to get hard we're gonna
fight the colors not one more bomb drop

cut out soldier coming home in a
wheelchair not one more family

happen we can do it today in the days
ahead we have to fight to end these wars
