PETITION TO CT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

We, the undersigned are horrified, saddened, and angry at the war in Ukraine.

We are horrified that humanity still resorts to mass murder to solve political-economic differences.

We are horrified that the world is endangered by nuclear war.

We are saddened that innocent noncombatants are reduced to the status of “collateral damage.”

We are saddened that soldiers are forced to fight and die.

We are saddened at the horrific bloodshed and damage the war is causing in Ukraine.

We are angry at all the governments and institutions involved for their role in this catastrophe.

We are angry at the Russian government for breaking international law, by invading their neighbor, no matter what the provocation.

We are angry at the government of Ukraine for failing to live up to their commitments in the Minsk Accords to engage the breakaway republics of the Donbas in political compromise, for slow-walking the peace talks, and for tolerating fascist groups dictating events.

We are angry at our corporate media, for their omissions, half-truths, and lies in the pursuit of war hysteria and arms sales.

Above all, we are angry at our own government, because it is that government that represents us, spends our tax money on slaughter instead of human needs, and must listen to us. We condemn the machinations of the US/NATO to surround Russia’s borders with aggressive military weapons which have created the tragic situation of death and destruction in the Ukraine. The US government has supported the expansion of NATO east to the border of Russia, steering the region into war in order to feed the Military-Industrial-Intelligence Complex.

  6. Stop the eastward expansion of NATO into Ukraine and the rest of the region
