On Tuesday, Gen. Petraeus told Congress, "We haven't turned any corners, we haven't seen any lights at the end of the tunnel."
So our top General in Iraq has no plans to end our endless occupation. But of course, we all knew that.
That means Congress has to end the occupation.
Our friends at United for Peace and Justice, the largest anti-war coalition, want all of us to call our Representative in the House on Thursday with a simple message:
1. Just Say No to Bush's request for $102 billion more for Iraq
2. Co-sponsor Lynn Woolsey's HR 5507 and safely bring all the troops home.
Call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 or find your Representative's phone on the right side:

We have fabulous coalition partners, speakers, and web/email tools to help you make your Town Hall a success. So act now - don't wait for Congress to steal another $102 billion from urgent needs like health care, education, jobs, and the environment.
