Challenge the Lie$

New Priorities Campaign '97

Join with other campuses to expose the stranglehold military and prison spending have placed on important social and environmental priorities.

Print out CCO's Petition for New Priorities! Use it to gather support on your campus to urge the President and Congress to redirect military spending to social spending. Here are some petition drive suggestions.

Challenge each of the 24 LIE$ about military spending!
