Rethink Afghanistan - Watch the Video
President Obama has committed 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. This decision raises serious questions about troops, costs, overall mission, and exit strategy. Historically, it has been Congress' duty to ask questions in the form of oversight hearings that challenge policymakers, examine military spending, and educate the public. After witnessing the absence of oversight regarding the Iraq war, we must insist Congress hold hearings on Afghanistan.
Watch the trailer below and the first part from the full-length documentary that will serve as a driving force to help make oversight hearings a reality. Then sign the petition urging oversight and tell us what questions you would ask.

It's now out of print. Some of its points: Limbaugh regularly challenges listeners to “name just one country that taxed itself out of a recession.” Answer: The U.S., from 1941 to 1980, our country’s most prosperous years, when all taxes were at their highest.
Wealth is a zero-sum game at both the front end—when corporate profits are divided up, to the back end—when money is spent (we live in a world of auction markets).
The news media has a liberal bias because, as Stephen Colbert says, reality has a liberal bias. And conservatives can’t stand it.
Wealth doesn’t trickle down, it is sucked up.
Conservatives actually believe in aristocracy, and use a perverted version of capitalism only as a cover. Roosevelt gave us a capitalism that actually worked as advertised.
