ELECT CHRIS HENRY TO TURN THE US MILITARY, HUMANITARY

More than half our federal tax dollars are being spent for past, present, and future wars and fund over 700 military bases world-wide. The cost of empire building descends from our fathers and will be borne by our children, for generations. By voting Pacific Green, you support Eisenhower's peaceful vision from his April 16, 1953 address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors:

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S VISION OF A CHANCE FOR PEACE

"First, no people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
Second, no nation's security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations.
Third, any nation's right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable.
Fourth, any nation's attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
And fifth, A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations."
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

WAR IS NOT A WAY TO SUSTAINABLY RESOLVE CONFLICT

While both major parties continue funding unmandated wars and occupation, your vote for Chris will send a message that Oregonians' priorities are universally for peace, justice, education, health care, and human rights.
