The words of Abraham Lincoln; please do not yield to the "peculiar and powerful interests.... With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right,...let us strive on to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle ... to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.... The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart ... will yet swell the chorus ... when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS CHOSEN....IT IS HIS WAR NOW, AFGHANISTAN
SHUT DOWN THE WAR MACHINE! Write Congress NOT to fund Afghanistan
and to pull out the toops already there. Our enemy is not there.
