Which future do you want?

War … or JOBS?
It is time for us to choose.
And it really is that simple.

Rally to Fund Jobs/ Cut Military Spending by 25%

On April 15, Boston taxpayers will send $1.4 billion dollars to the Pentagon.

We can cut military spending by 25% - close unnecessary military bases overseas, stop defense contracting waste and fraud and even end the war in Afghanistan, - and still have plenty left for veterans benefits, active duty soldiers and real security.

Money for War? Or...

Boston's unemployment rate is 8.7%. The adult male unemployment and underemployment rate in the Grove Hall corridor has been 50%.

A program to set up summer jobs for Boston Youth would cost roughly $6 million for 3600 jobs.

That means we could pay for over 2 million summer jobs for Boston Youth with the tax dollars that go to the Pentagon.

... Money for JOBS????
