The United States is the sole remaining global superpower. The U.S. government uses its overwhelming military power to consolidate its strategic hold over the entire world and to defend and advance the interests of U.S. owned corporations as they exploit the working people and natural resources of the entire planet. We stand in total opposition to U.S. imperialism and the current “war on terror” which is just another subterfuge for U.S. imperialism. 1. We call for the closing of all U.S. military facilities at home and abroad that train foreign military and paramilitary personnel. 2. We call for the United States to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan. 3. We call for an end to the U.S. occupation of the province of Guantanamo, Cuba. 4. We call for an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank-East Jerusalem and Gaza, and an end to all U.S. aid to Israel, as a precondition for peace. 5. We support an immediate cutoff of all U.S. military aid to Colombia, and all other recipients. 6. We call for the abolition of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and all other institutions of covert warfare. 7. We stand for unconditional disarmament by the United States. 8. We call for an international treaty outlawing all weapons of mass destruction, including the use of depleted uranium in conventional weapons. 9. We call for an immediate 50% cut in the military budget, followed by additional cuts, with the aim of rapidly reducing the military budget to less than 10% of its current level, with the "peace dividend" directed to essential social services and to the cost of cleaning up contaminated military sites. 10. We call for the disbanding of NATO and all other aggressive military alliances, and the closing of all overseas bases. 11. We call for an end to U.S. arms sales throughout the world. 12. We call for the U.S. to pay off its debts to the United Nations, an end to veto power in the UN, and an end to permanent membership on the UN Security Council. 13. We call for a constitutional amendment requiring a binding vote of the people on all issues of war or military intervention. 14. We support the right of soldiers to form unions to represent their views and interests.
