President-Elect Barack Obama pledged to end the occupation of Iraq during his campaign and this should be his number one priority. The occupation of Iraq has cost the US economy hundreds of billions of dollars, lasted longer then World War II, and displaced millions of Iraqis from their homes, while destabilizing the entire region.

President-Elect Barack Obama will face tremendous challenges early in his administration and feel the pull from hawkish members of his own party and Republicans. He'll need the support of the public to maintain the political will to end the occupation of Iraq, bring our troops home, and resolve the humanitarian crisis. Sign our open letter to President-Elect Barack Obama to see through his pledge to end the occupation of Iraq. This petition is sponsored by the Peace Action Education Fund.
