Jobs-Not-Wars is a time-limited petition campaign to urge the president and congress to abandon austerity solutions to the deficit and instead to end the war, cut military spending, tax the super-rich, and redirect resources to restore and protect the social safety net, create jobs, deal with climate change and meet other urgent social needs.

In the Public Interest 
"In the Public Interest," is a long pamphlet that takes on the "myths" about public sector workers spread by politicians and bankers that want to privatize everything.
