LETTER: In opposition to war
I’m a Quaker living in Washington, Pa. I believe sincerely in the Quaker Peace Testimony and became a pacifist during my teens.
The development of military weapons conflicts with the teachings of Christ, and I cannot support any candidate who continues spending billions on arms. I have opposed all wars during my lifetime. We as a nation must halt the arms race and reduce the Pentagon budget.
I will lobby elected officials to achieve such a goal. I also ask citizens to do the same so the philosophy of peace on Earth is finally realized.
Peace be with you all.
Durk Pebley
Washington
