“Because it’s Time to End the Afghanistan War…”

Subject: New Video Release: “Because it’s Time to End the Afghanistan War…”

Hello Activists,

We just released a new video entitled: “Because it’s Time to End the Afghanistan War”

With violence in Afghanistan still worsening a year after the military push into Marjah–the start of what some call “Obama‘s War”–it’s clear military solutions won’t work. It’s time to end the war. We want people to share why they oppose the war for a chance to appear in an upcoming Rethink Afghanistan video.

Help us spread the word so that people watch our video and leave a comment on our Rethink Afghanistan wall. Here is how we need you to share:

SHARE with all of your friends on Facebook. Head over to the Citizen Activists Facebook Wall for sample copy:

Also, be sure to let us know how your friends are reacting and how you shared!

We can’t do this without you.

Hi Activists,

We just released a new video entitled: “Martin Luther King Jr: I have a Dream…to go to War?!”

A Pentagon official recently made a statement saying that if alive, Dr. King might support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is simply not true. Dr. King denounced war as an “enemy of the poor” and called for peace.

Help us share this video with all your friends by doing the following:

(1.) Vote Up our video on Social Bookmarking sites. Below are direct links so you can vote up the video. (If you don’t have an account, create one! It only takes a few minutes and is FREE)
