Support Legislation to End the War!

"Non-binding" resolutions are not enough to stop the war plans of a President who apparently doesn't even consider the Constitution to be binding!Please click on the link below - or paste it into your browser - to send your Representative a quick email telling them that the need to support legislation to actually END the war - specifically H.R. 508, the "Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty Act of 2007." These people in Congress have got to hear everyone of us demanding that they not simply "disapprove" of the war - they have to end it, and stop a President who will listen to no one!

H.R. 508, the "Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2007," a bill which Peace Action helped create, is the comprehensive bill we need to end the war. Please take a moment to sign the petition and send an email to your Representative in Washington, demanding that they co-sponsor this important piece of legislation.

I urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 508, the "Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty Act of 2007," introduced by Rep. Lynn Woolsey. This comprehensive bill would provide all necessary funds to bring our troops home (and prohibit permanent U.S. military bases there), while accelerating support for a National Iraqi police force, providing assistance for reconstruction and reconcilliation in Iraq, and guaranteeing adequate health care for all U.S. veterans.

PLEASE NOTE: Current co-sponsors of the bill, along with Reps. Woolsey, Lee and Waters, who introduced it, include Diane Watson (D-CA-33, James McGovern (D-MA-3), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH-10), Barney Frank (D-MA-4), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY-22), John Conyers (D-MI-14), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY-8), Chaka Fattah (D-PA-2), Bob Filner (D-CA-51), William “Lacy” Clay (D-M0-1), Donald Payne (D-NJ-10), Steve Cohen (D-TN-9), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX-18).
