Survey of Gubernatorial campaign websites, 2010-2011: on War & Peace


Matt Mead: We are at war since 2001; the threat is still real

Some in our country, sad to say, need reminded that we were attacked in 2001, and we are at war. We must always support our country's ongoing war effort. Returning home, Wyoming's brave men and women who have been deployed in the war effort and their families must have our full support. We must always support our troops here and abroad.

The threat is real. Those who would do us harm have not become complacent, and we must remain vigilant about national security.

Jill Stein: End our military misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan

Before President Obama took office, the Democratic Party criticized Bush for killing thousands of people looking for weapons of mass destruction that never existed. But now their voices have fallen silent. Gov. Patrick is promoting the troop surges and engaging in shameless attempts to use the troops as props for his election year photo ops. He dished out upbeat descriptions of our military misadventures in Iraq and Afghanistan. He described morale as being high, conveniently ignoring the fact that suicides among the troops had just reached record levels.

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars are costing Massachusetts $3.4 billion per year. That money could go a long way toward creating jobs here in Massachusetts. Rather than serving as a Pentagon propagandist and obediently sending our National Guard off for yet another tour of duty, the Governor of Massachusetts should be telling President Obama that we need to end the wars, bring our National Guard home, and heal our economy.
