We, the undersigned, support the Broome County Cost of War Awareness Project, which aims to encourage a respectful, honest and much needed debate about the many tragic costs of war: human, moral and financial. We also support Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan's decision to amend the City's longstanding art exhibition policy to accommodate the temporary installation of the Cost of War Sign. We support the new policy, which ensures other organizations and individuals have equal and fair access to these same public spaces in order to use art as a medium to contribute to a healthy, democratic exchange of ideas. We strongly support our U.S. Service members and deeply appreciate their sworn oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, yet we also recognize that the annual diversion of hundreds of billions of our tax dollars from health care, education, job creation, transportation, housing, energy research, and our environment to endless warmaking and an oversized Pentagon is seriously undermining the well-being and security of all Americans, and we support all awareness efforts and actions to reverse this troubling trend.

    • In the short years of our country's existence, how many of them have been peaceful? Is it because there is so much evil in the world or could there be other reasons?

    • The display and the exhibit is a visible reminder that to avoid or ignore the human, finacial and spiritual cost of war, is detrimental to the soul of our nation and local community.

    • As a parent and grandparent, I grieve the loss of life and limb among our service men and women. As a Binghamton native, I share the concerns of many about the decline of our nation's cities. Let us find a better path for the future.
