Sign the End the Occupation of Iraq Pledge

Sponsored by: Peace Action Education Fund
Our elected officials may not be ready to end the occupation of Iraq - but we are!

There will be pivotal votes on the Iraq war throughout the summer, leading up to General Petraeus' progress report in September. We must be relentless in our pressure on politicians and let them know that the American people will accept nothing less than a timelined withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

We must be ready to end this occupation ourselves - by exercising our power as citizens. Take our pledge not to vote, volunteer or contribute to any candidate that doesn't support ending the occupation of Iraq.
deadline: 8-5-2008
goal: 30,000

I signed Peace Action West's Iraq pledge stating:

In the 2008 election, I will not vote for, contribute to, or volunteer for any member of Congress who:

* Votes against a concrete timeline for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

* Votes to fund the war in Iraq without requiring that the funding be used for withdrawal of US troops, reconstruction, and regional diplomacy

* Supports permanent US military bases in Iraq and a long-term occupation

There is no military solution to the problem in Iraq, and like most Americans I want our troops and tax dollars coming home.

As Congress continues to vote on Iraq policy this year, I urge you to vote in favor of a concrete timeline to end the war in Iraq, and funding for reconstruction and regional diplomacy. Please write to let me know what action you will take on this critical issue.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

I find it ironic that the party that insists on personal accountability and self reliance is requiring neither of a government in Iraq which is not willing to stabilize itself. I am sick and tired of American blood being shed while the impotent Iraqi government does absolutely nothing to establish self rule. Enough coddling. Make them work for their democracy...maybe they'll appreciate it then.

The country of Iraq was much better off before the Bush administrations war within Iraq . The US military needs to be within the US protecting its citizens from attack .
