Bring the Troops Home Now

President Bush and the Republicans led us into Iraq. Now is the time for for those same leaders to end the occupation, and bring our troops home safely. President Bush’s current policy, that many in Congress have continued to support keeps our troops in harms way on the battlefields of Iraq. Americans are dying on a daily basis while Congress twiddles its collective thumbs. We here in America can no longer continue to stand by leaders who support this mismanaged war.

Congress has voted time and time again to continue the occupation. The amounts of money wasted to date are nothing short of staggering. It is time to end the losses of both money and lives. To that end I urge our Senators and Congressmen to cease their support of the occupation and to vote only for those bills which contain withdrawal plans which include a definite timeline for ending the American occupation. I urge all of Congress to join the majority of Americans who today stand in opposition to the war. We deserve politicians who represent both our interests and our ideas. Continuing support of the occupation of Iraq is no longer acceptable. The time has come for real change.

Let the message ring out loud and clear. The only way to really support the troops is to bring them home alive. We have no more children to lose to this illegal and immoral occupation. Bring them home now.
