Healthcare Not Warfare Vigil

WA-2 Cong. Larsen-Brown Bag Lunch Vigil

Sponsored by Progressive Democrats of America

Join the vigil in front of Cong. Rick Larsen's Bellingham Office to call attention to misplaced government spending priorities. This is the first of a series of planned "third Wednesday" events to protest what seems to be limitless spending for endless wars. We can pay for warfare but not healthcare, for bombs but not books, for weapons but not windmills, for hellfire but not homes.

As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq labor on, with no end in sight, it's become alarmingly clear that they have exacted a staggering human and financial toll on the Iraqi, Afghan, and American people. Something is terribly wrong.

Specifically, we are calling on Congressman Larsen to support HR 2454, calling for an exit strategy from Afghanistan; HR 3699, prohibiting any increase in the number of U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan, and to work to establish improved and expanded Medicare for All.
