Call Congress Now to Help Stop an Endless War

From our partners at True Majority:

This is the week to end the war in Afghanistan.

Washington has been thrown for a loop by publication of nearly 92,000 classified military documents about the war in Afghanistan. The files show a ground-level view of the war that is far bleaker than the official portrayal: The documents show that our soldiers are demoralized, that our so-called "Allies" are actually working against us, and that the insurgents we are fighting are better armed and more dangerous than we have been told.¹

Together with the staggering $1 trillion dollars we've already spent, and the unconscionable 1,000+ soldiers who have already been killed in this pointless conflict, these secret files prove what TrueMajority members have said all along: it's time to end the war and come home.²

Fortunately, there's a vote in Congress this week that could make it happen: The house is about to vote on another 'emergency' funding bill for the war.³ If enough of us tell Congress to VOTE NO, we'll choke off the funding for the war and force the generals and war-mongers to end the conflict.

Can you make a free call right now to end the war?

So far, ending the war has been difficult. Our previous attempts to make Congress end the conflict or set a time-line to bring home the troops have failed. ⁴

But this time is different. For one thing, we've built a huge list of Representatives who support ending the war thanks to those efforts.⁴ And, just as important, the release of these formerly classified documents is raising questions from some members of Congress who used to support the war.⁵

Now that they know the truth, Congress is running out of reasons to keep supporting the war. But it will still take a big push from us to make it happen.

A phone call is the best way to help it only takes a second and it's way more personal and powerful than an email.

Take a second right now to call Congress and tell them to VOTE NO on the supplemental war funding bill.
