You Decide: Students' Education or the Afghanistan War?

Californias economy is in a tailspin. One in 5 Californians is out of work. Over three quarters of a million have lost their homes. Desperately needed social services have been cut to the bone. Yet residents of our state continue to pay for a senseless war in Afghanistan thats not making us safer a war that has cost California taxpayers nearly $38 billion already.

Last month, facing tuition and fee hikes of over 30 percent, public university students all over California said enough is enough, organized and went on strike. Now these students have a new message: California is wasting tens of billions of dollars on war even while making public education accessible only to the rich.

We cant afford to continue a war that does nothing to make us safer.

Attitude issue??? Many want the war stopped not to stop many people getting killed, maimed, orphaned, raped, abused.. but, so that they can have their education subsidized. What a shame human are.  We are so selfish.
