President Obama will soon decide whether to send as many as 60,000 additional U.S. soldiers to the war in Afghanistan. [1]
Let's urge Obama to live up to his 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Tell him to withdraw troops from Afghanistan — not send more.
The U.S. military has been in Afghanistan for more than 8 years. Enough is enough.
It's no surprise that 59% of Americans now oppose sending more troops to Afghanistan. [2]
We need to remind Obama that Lyndon Johnson's choice to escalate the Vietnam War doomed his domestic agenda to failure.
Tell President Obama today to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan.

24/7 indefinitely.
$133 million dollars a DAY.
For what?
It’s almost like someone in charge wants to bankrupt American on purpose.
If 59% of Americans oppose the war, maybe that`s where the public option should be also.
Or at least opt out of it.
This is not a war of necessity, but a war of obscenities.
