Action Alert: Stop Endless War

Last month, you signed a petition demanding that Congress stop President Bush from signing the "Endless War" Agreement to tie us down in Iraq.

The campaign is gaining momentum: did you see the New York Times editorial today? Here's how it starts:

President Bush is discussing a new agreement with Baghdad that would govern the deployment of American troops in Iraq. With so many Americans adamant about bringing our forces home as soon as possible, a sentiment we strongly share, Mr. Bush must not be allowed to tie the hands of his successor and ensure the country's continued involvement in an open-ended war.¹

Since we sounded the alarm last month, Representative Rosa DeLauro and Senator Hillary Clinton have introduced legislation to stop the President. This morning's editorial in the Times will build momentum for action—now we need to push it over the top. If we can reach 250,000 signatures this week, the petitions will go straight to Congress on Monday.

Can you email 5 friends and ask them to sign? Here's the link they can use:

Thanks for helping to get this important campaign off the ground!

Hi.

Did you see the New York Times editorial today? Here's how it starts:

President Bush is discussing a new agreement with Baghdad that would govern the deployment of American troops in Iraq. With so many Americans adamant about bringing our forces home as soon as possible, a sentiment we strongly share, Mr. Bush must not be allowed to tie the hands of his successor and ensure the country's continued involvement in an open-ended war.

I've signed a petition demanding that Congress stop President Bush from tying us down in Iraq.

Representative Rosa DeLauro and Senator Hillary Clinton have introduced legislation to do just that. This editorial will build momentum for action—now we need to push it over the top. If we can reach 250,000 signatures this week, the petitions will go straight to Congress on Monday.

"Congress must not let President Bush commit America to an endless military presence in Iraq."

This agreement that could include permanent bases and a massive military presence for years!

This is a pivotal moment—the agreement is still in the planning stages and if we don't act now, we could be stuck in Iraq for decades. Please sign.

Thanks!
