I wouldn't ask Anna Eshoo for a glass of water if my eyebrows were on fire.

Dear Cynthia,
 
The President and the press will measure Congressional opposition to the
war in Afghanistan and the ill-conceived "War on Terror" in two votes
that could take place as early as this afternoon. Your Representative
needs to hear from you.
 
*Call the Capitol Switchboard at 1-888-231-9276 to be connected to your
Member of Congress and tell them:*
 
*“It’s time to end the war in Afghanistan and prevent the next one.
Please support Amendment 55 by Representatives McGovern and Jones and
Amendment 50 by Representatives Amash and Lee to the National Defense
Authorization Act.”*
 
Today the House of Representatives begins to debate and vote on H.R.
1540, the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA).
When they do, they will have the opportunity to end the war in
Afghanistan and prevent Congress from authorizing endless war. These
votes will determine how the press reports on opposition to the war and
how much pressure the President feels to start bringing our troops home now.
 
*This is the best chance Congress has to send a strong message to the
President and the press that its time to end the war in Afghanistan and
prevent the next one.  Tell your Member of Congress to support:*
 
     * *Amendment 55 – Sponsored by Representatives Jim McGovern (D-MA)
       and Walter Jones (R-NC): *This bipartisan amendment calls for an
       end to the war in Afghanistan by requiring the President to
       provide a plan and timeframe for an accelerated drawdown of
       military operations in Afghanistan.
 
     * *Amendment 50 – Sponsored by Representatives Justin Amash (R-MI)
       and Barbara Lee (D-CA):* This bipartisan amendment would remove a
       radical new authorization of endless war anywhere in the world.
 
The media and the President will be using these amendments to gauge
Congressional support for ending the war. Pass or fail, every vote
counts in sending a strong message to the President and the media: bring
the troops home, now.
 
*Please tell your Member of Congress to vote YES on these two important
amendments.*
 
*Congress is already debating this legislation, so please call now at
1-888-231-9276 and ask them to vote yes on Amendments 55 and 50 to H.R.
1540.*
 
Thank you for working for peace,
 
Tom, Stephen, Ryan and the Win Without War Team
