You can't 1/3 end a war so End the War NOW - not in 2014 from USACTION/TRUEMAJORITY 23JUN11

WITH  a nephew in the U.S. Army I will continue to oppose the immoral war in Afghanistan and the illegal war in Iraq because while I am very proud of him for serving I do not want his life sacrificed for nothing but the support of corrupt, undemocratic governments in Baghdad and Kabul and the profitability of the American military-industrial complex.

Tell Congress to end the war NOW Bring Home the Troops Tell Congress to end the war in Afghanistan now, not in 2014. Last night President Obama promised to bring home 30,000 of the more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan by next year. The other 70,000 troops will stay at least until 2014 -- and possibly longer -- to continue the nation-building mission.1 The president's plan marks important progress, and it proves that the debate is shifting from whether to end the war to how quickly we should end it. But that's not nearly enough. You can't 1/3 end a war, and the time to end the Afghanistan war is NOW, not in 2014. So we're not giving up, and fortunately neither are our allies in Congress. Progressive hero Jim McGovern and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi have already promised to press Obama to end the war sooner.2 And today, we need to back them up. Click here to tell Congress that you want to end the war and that you'll support any representative who votes to push the President and the Pentagon to accelerate the timetable for withdrawal. For months we been writing letters, making phone calls and signing petitions asking the President and Congress to end the war. And it IS working. Last month the House of Representatives came within six votes of setting a timetable to end the war -- including first-time support from more than 20 Republicans. And the 30,000 troops Obama now promises to pull out is more than double the speed and size reduction recommended by the Pentagon and warmongers.3 So, we are making progress, but we haven't stopped the war. Sign here to show Congress that you won't stop until every last soldier comes home and every last dollar is re-invested in nation-building here in America.
