US Troops Again Invade Iraq; Sanders Offered to AIPAC to Speak by Video

by Register Peace & Freedom or Green
13 years ago, March 19, 2003, Republican Bush illegally invaded and occupied Iraq to steal their oil and to the date, now Democrat Obama is doing the same for the same reason. Yet, there is no protest by any Democrat. Sheepdog Democrat Sanders, a proud supporter of the war machine, offered to speak to AIPAC by video as others have done, but was turned down.
His very friendly letter to AIPAC may be found at https://berniesanders.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/AIPAC_letter.pdf

Quoting in pertinent part Sanders' 3/18/16 letter to Robert Cohen, President of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee:

"Dear Bob, I enjoyed the opportunity to chat with you this morning. As I mentioned, I would very much have enjoyed speak at the AIPAC conference." He ends his letter with "Hope the conference goes well."

Democratic Party Sheepdog Sanders, whose campaign is solely to make sure you never vote Red or Green in November, is a longtime Zionist darling of AIPAC and always votes for Israel, as he did during the July 2014 Israeli bombing of Gaza. For more on Sanders' warmongering record, see:

1. Cindy Sheehan, a Peace & Freedom Party candidate in the past, has compiled the reactionary voting record of Sanders on 2/17/16, "Confessions of a Real Socialist" with lots of links at:

The protests of Trump rallies must be equaled to the protests of Clinton and Sanders rallies. Trump, of course, will most likely not come to San Francisco since the Republican vote here is about 15%. Republican strongholds in California are, by County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, Kern, Kings, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Merced, Fresno, San Joaquin, and most of the entire Central Valley, Sierra Nevada and northern border counties. Trump rallies will probably occur in the more heavily populated of those counties.

Clinton and Sanders will certainly come to San Francisco to raise money. Are you going to protest their support of Israel and the war machine just as you protest Trump’s bad language? Trump also supports Israel and the war machine. They all proudly support the police state at home, especially in the big cities, all Democratic Party strongholds, like San Francisco.

The era of voting for the evil of 2 lessers is over. The Green Party is now on the ballot in at least 45 states plus D.C. and usually is on the ballot in all 50 states in the November presidential election. Many states, including California with Peace & Freedom Party, also have a socialist party. The twin parties of war and fascism, both staunchly pro-Israel too, are the Democrat-Republicans. They put guns before butter and have no intention of abolishing the police state and the war machine, housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, promoting socialized medicine and free education for all, as they only care about maximizing the profits of the munitions makers and oil companies, where the greatest profits are, the goal of the capitalist class which they represent. If you want peace, the abolition of the military and the police, a secular peaceful Palestine, housing, food, socialized medicine and free education for all you have to vote Peace & Freedom or Green.
