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!

1/2 my heart is in Iraq, and I want it back NOW! He does not want to be there, and I don't want him there. He says they are lying to the American people to get support for the war. We need to stop cleaning up the backyards of everyone else, when our own is a mess. Bring our men and women home, we love them.

The bottom line is the US occupation is all about the American oil companies securing Iraq's oil reserves, which is just a crime against the American people, and the global community. Also, our government should have instead focused their efforts in finishing the job in Afghanistan, and stopping Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda once and for all. Instead the Bush/Cheney administration initiated an ill-advised invasion of Iraq, and continues an ill-advised occupation of Iraq.

I think we need to end this war but we need to be careful about how and when we pull out of Iraq. The sooner the better but it must be done with caution. I really hope we don;t start something with Iran.
