On Monday, June 7, the war in Afghanistan became the longest war in U.S. history. In response, Brave New Foundation and our partners at TrueMajority/USAction asked you to help us send a strong message that politicians would hear, calling for a withdrawal from that country to be completed no later than December 2011.
Thanks to you, we hit our fundraising goal in just a few hours!
Because of your strong response, a full-page ad in the Capitol Hill newspaper Politico will remind policy-makers of President Obama’s promise to begin a withdrawal no later than July 2011, while also demanding the withdrawal be complete by December 2011.
This ad sends a message that we are tired of watching hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives being wasted on a war that’s not making us safer. It’s a warning to elected officials: "We want this war to end, and we will hold you accountable for ending it."
Congratulations, and thank you for your support.On Monday, June 7, the war in Afghanistan became the longest war in U.S. history. In... more

A sign of the recession for sure! Too costly to keep, boats are popping up on coastlines everywhere, abandoned by their broke owners!
"The bad economy is creating a flotilla of forsaken boats. While there is no national census of abandoned boats, officials in coastal states are worried the problem will only grow worse as unemployment and financial stress continue to rise. Several states are even drafting laws against derelicts and say they are aggressively starting to pursue delinquent owners.
“Our waters have become dumping grounds,” said Maj. Paul R. Ouellette of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. “It’s got to the point where something has to be done.”
The owners cannot sell them, because the secondhand market is overwhelmed. They cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars a month mooring and maintaining them. And they do not have the thousands of dollars required to properly dispose of them."A sign of the recession for sure! Too costly to keep, boats are popping up on... more
