Peace on Earth: Keep Antiwar.com Strong This Holiday Season
Dear Friends,
Peace on Earth? Today, it seems like more of a dream. We at Antiwar.com are working to make it more of a reality.
Many American leaders are more interested in using war to fight for peace. Unfortunately, they have convinced many Americans into believing that war is the only path to peace. They do that by using fear and lies.
Antiwar.com works to inform people about what is really going on, and to show them alternatives to the plans of war-hungry politicians.
We rely on your support to continue that mission. Your contributions to Antiwar.com are tax-deductible, enabling you to redeploy some of your tax dollars. As the year end approaches, please send a donation to Antiwar.com. We promise to continue our work to get closer to real Peace on Earth
