THE UNITED STATES SPENDS OVER $1.7 BILLION OF OUR HARD EARNED MONEY EVERY DAY FOR WARS PAST,
PRESENT AND FUTURE. ON OCTOBER 19, 1998 ABOUT 500 DEMONSTRATORS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TRAVELED TO DC TO DEMAND, AT THE VERY LEAST, THAT THE PENTAGON, HOME OF THE LARGEST WAR MAKING MACHINE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN, TAKE A DAY OFF AND DEDICATE ONE DAYS WORTH OF ITS BUDGET TO HUMAN NEEDS .
