Petition

After 8 years, nearly 5,300 U.S. lives, and $3 trillion, it's time to bring our troops safely home from Afghanistan and Iraq.

We urge Congress to vote against any funds for these wars, except to bring our troops safely home. In particular, we urge Congress to vote against the Defense Authorization bill, which includes another $130 billion for these wars. The extension of unemployment benefits should be passed separately, not included in a war funding bill.

We have urgent priorities here at home, especially jobs, healthcare, education, and global warming. We must also reduce taxes for working families and our $12 trillion national debt, which doubled under George Bush because he refused to pay for his wars.

We simply cannot afford another $170 billion each year for never-ending wars.
