An anti-war petition is making the rounds..

We Will Oppose Obama As Long As He Supports War

ADD YOUR NAME
We the undersigned share with nearly two-thirds of our fellow Americans the conviction that our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq should be ended and that overall military spending should be dramatically reduced. This has been our position for years and will continue to be, and we take it seriously. We vow not to support President Barack Obama for renomination for another term in office, and to actively seek to impede his war policies unless and until he reverses them.
Since he became president, Obama has had three opportunities to work with Congress to reduce military spending, but instead has championed increases in that spending each time, despite the fact that this spending represents a clear threat to the economic future of our country. He has continued as well to try to hide the true costs of the wars by funding them with off-the-books supplemental spending bills, despite the fact that he campaigned against this very practice.
The President has escalated a war on Afghanistan in which rising civilian deaths and atrocities have become routine

A Petition is making the rounds, in which hundreds of signatories have vowed to oppose President Obama “as long as he supports war.” It’s the kind of message that Dr. Martin Luther King would have signed onto. We know this, because that’s precisely what Dr. King told President Lyndon Johnson, in April of 1967: that he would oppose his president and onetime ally as long as Johnson continued to wage war in Vietnam. Many believe that’s the reason Dr. King was assassinated exactly one year later

Actually, lots of these things went around when Bush was prez. -
Sorry, I'm already opposing Obama for extending the Bush tax cuts. I only get one vote so I can't double-oppose him for this.
Tell you what though, if by some unforeseeable circumstance he redeems himself on domestic policy, I'll then oppose him for being a warmonger. -
i signed an anti-war internet petition and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq immediately stopped. it was the least lazy, most effective protest i have ever engaged it, and i just wanted you to know this so you can be jealous about how much more i care than you doKTULU IS BACK wrote: »i signed an amnesty international thing once and the guy got off death row
