Please ask all your elected officials, local, State & Federal, to call for a cease fire before we put one more person in peril.
A cease fire would be a carbon free solution. Let's take that to Copenhagen.
In peace,

Santa Rosa protesters decry Obama's Afghan buildup

About 100 people - some of whom voted for President Barack Obama a year ago — came to Santa Rosa's Courthouse Square Wednesday night to quietly protest his decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan.
Standing beneath the square's twinkling white holiday lights on a chilly evening, some said they were dismayed by the president's announcement on Tuesday, but others said they expected it.
"I am not surprised at all," said Alan Horn of Sebastopol, who said he is a U.S. Coast Guard veteran. "I knew this was going to happen. When Obama failed to call for a ceasefire in his inaugural address, Horn said, "I knew we were in for a tough four years." He voted for Obama, but said it was "a vote against John McCain and Sarah Palin."...
Colleen Fernald of Sebastopol, a registered Democrat who calls herself as "omnipartisan," said that a safe withdrawal from Afghanistan should start with a ceasefire. "I wish progressives would get on the ceasefire bandwagon," she said.
