<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;"><img src="http://justicewithpeace.org/files/u415/B4ASign.jpg" alt="Vote Yes on Budget for All" width="241" height="176" vspace="5" hspace="10" align="right"><em>The New York Times</em> came out for rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan in an October 14 editorial. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has done the same in several recent debates.</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">What about Senator Kerry? Will he continue to support two more years of conflict followed by a further 10 years of residual occupation, as the Administration proposes? Or will he support a rapid end to the war?</p>
<p style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, Arial;">11 years after the US attack on Afghanistan, 73,000 US troops remain there. Bring the troops home now - not in 2024 as the Administration proposes.</p>
<div>The Budget for All Referendum will allow one million Massachusetts voters to say they want the troops OUT of Afghanistan NOW. Let's get the word out about the Budget for All and send a message to Sen. Kerry at a Brown Bag Lunch Vigil.</div>
