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]

We signed the “Sign the End the Occupation of Iraq Pledge” petition!

We were misled into this war, with the Congress failing in its oversight of an obviously devious administration. Its time to replace those involved, both those who did the lying, and in those who either were not competent enough to detect the lies or were dastardly enough to have participated in hiding the lies from the public. Get them out of office now, Investigate them, expose their disgraceful failure to honor their oaths of office, and provide the transparency to prevent it from happening again.

No candidate will receive money or support from myself or my family if they do not support pulling out of Iraq. We must use our fortunes more wisely.

I am pleased to announce that in the city of Portland, Oregon, we were able to finally pass a resolution in favor of a national department of peace (DoP) so it is true that we are not going to wait for our federal government leaders to create the change we desire to see!
