Help Needed! 225,000 More Signatures on Petition To End War In Iraq
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 03:56 PM by IndyOp
Senator Boxer has 75,632 signatures on the petition below. We should be able to get AT LEAST 300,000 signatures -- as many/more than the number of people who marched in DC.

I KNOW DU can get this done! Go DU! Go DU! Go DU!

SIGN PETITION *** SIGN PETITION *** SIGN PETITION

After two and a half years of war, the American people are still waiting to hear the truth about what our mission is in Iraq and how we are going to accomplish it. Frankly, it is difficult to keep track of all the missions we've had so far, because the story changes every few weeks. First there was the weapons of mass destruction mission, then regime change, then rebuilding, then bringing democracy, and now it's fighting terrorism.

It's time to develop a strategy that can succeed in Iraq, defuse the terrorist insurgency, and bring our brave men and women home. That will only happen if you immediately bring credibility, accountability, and responsibility to a war that has been lacking in all three.

***Credibility: It's time for you to stop using sound bytes like "Mission Accomplished" and be truthful with the American people.

***Accountability: We need to hear from your Administration exactly how many Iraqi forces are needed; how to meet that goal; and by when.

***Responsibility: We must honor our soldiers not just on the 4th of July, but every day -- by giving them the equipment they need while they are deployed and the health care they deserve when they come home.

I urge you to tell the truth to the American people, articulate a clear timeline of our plans for Iraq, and take responsibility for our men and women in uniform.


I KNOW DU can get this done! Go DU! Go DU! Go DU!

On Edit: Please KICK and RECOMMEND!!

11. Don't you recall the petition
To end the Taliban's oppression of women back in 1998?


That worked Swell. I wonder where they sent the signatures being as it was to a country that had no real internet to speak of at the time.

The internet petition itself, is, of course, just bits and bytes. But a Senator of Good Will, giving a fiery speech, standing with 300,000 petition pages behind her as a backdrop, can make an impression.

Every journey of a thousand miles begins with single step!

:loveya: LOTS! :loveya: LOTS!

NOW GO SIGN THE DAMNED PETITION - Please.
