Within days of taking office Barack Obama sanctioned two   
missile attacks in Pakistan, which killed dozens of civilians.     
Obama also announced the doubling of US troop numbers in   
Afghanistan to 60,000, making it clear that his war policies   
are no different from those of George Bush.

Obama's vice president Joe Biden says there will be an     
"uptick" in the military campaign in Afghanistan which makes   
more important than ever the protests now being planned March 13-19th.

It is essential that the anti-war movement mobilizes the   
widest opposition to the war in Afghanistan - which is     
unwinnable even if the invaders knew what "winning" would look     
like. Obama's intention is to escalate the war dramatically,   
with the inevitable slaughter of Afghan civilians, already   
being killed in their hundreds.

VoteStrike is now planning future demonstrations in   
London when Obama joins other heads of government at the G20   
meeting on April 2. Following the G20 protest there will be   
three days of anti-war events in Strasburg, when Obama will   
join in a celebration of the NATO on the 60th anniversary of   
its founding. We will be publishing full details soon.

 

Whether you call it the world financial structure, the U.S. culture of waste, or the ability of the common man to make a decent living, the system is broken. It's time for the common man to go on strike. Join or support the March on Washingon (more...)
