Hawkins' Senate Campaign Airs Radio Ads Calling for New Investigation of 9/11

Calls Bush/Clinton "War on Terrorism" the Wrong Response

Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for US Senate, has begun airing radio ads calling for a new investigation into the 9/11 attacks and condemning the so-called war on terrorism as the wrong response to 9/11. The ads will initially begin running on 9/11 in New York City on Air America, WWRL; WSYR in Syracuse; and WROW in Albany (on the Fred Dicker Show). LISTEN here at: http://www.hawkinsforsenate.org/

Hawkins said the unlike the previous investigations, this one needed to be led by people from outside the US military, intelligence, and national security establishment. "The fifth anniversary of the murders of several thousand individuals at the World Trade Center, DC and Pennsylvania is an opportune time to reflect on whether our country took the right response after 9/11. This tragedy has been cynically manipulated by the Bush administration with the active support of both parties in Congress. The so-called “war on terrorism‚ has isolated the US politically. It has fueled a huge increase in an already bloated military budget, leading to massive war profiteering, soaring federal budget deficits, and cutbacks in many domestic programs. It led to the invasion of Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11. And it has curtailed civil liberties and public dissent at home. Meanwhile, terrorism has increased throughout the world," said Hawkins.
