The War Resisters League's famous "pie chart" flyer, which analyzes the Federal Fiscal Year 2011 Budget (released in February 2010)!
Each year, War Resisters League analyzes federal funds outlays as presented in detailed tables in "Analytical Perspectives" of the Budget of the United States Government. Our analysis is based on federal funds, which do not include trust funds--such as Social Security--that are raised separately from income taxes for specific purposes.

Join us in resistance to President Obama's wrong decision about
Afghanistan!
President Obama has decided to escalate the war, sending between 30,000 and 35,000 more troops (on top of the 68,000 already there) to fight a battle that is costing us the lives of hundreds of American military personnel and tens of thousands of Afghan civilians, while domestic programs to benefit the poor and marginalized in the United States are defunded and deprioritized.
Please read this letter to the Nobel Committee authored by a coalition of groups against the war in Afghanistan and join us in saying that War is NOT Peace!
