Pressure the President to Withdraw Responsibly from Afghanistan

Pressure the President to Withdraw Responsibly from Afghanistan

The Issue

With war costs, military and civilian deaths mounting, Afghan, U.K. and U.N. officials know it's past time to end the war in Afghanistan. Yet President Obama commits more and more troops and resources to this war even as our national debt is exploding, while more and more Americans are realizing it's time to withdraw responsibly. That's why we support new legislation to bring an end to the war with a responsible exit strategy.

Senator Russ Fiengold, Representative Jim McGovern, and Representative Walter Jones have bravely brought this legislation to the floor. It will "require the President to develop a flexible timetable to draw down U.S. troops from Afghanistan." H.R. 5015: Redeployment of U.S. Troops from Afghanistan, and it's sister bill in the Senate, S. 3197, are critical first steps for the U.S. withdrawal effort. 

Pressure the President to withdraw responsibly from Afghanistan by asking him and members of Congress to pass H.R. 5015 and S. 3197 this Congressional session. Sign this petition and send it to all the potential supporters you know now!
