<h2>Stop $33 billion for Afghanistan war!</h2>
<p>President Obama ordered 30,000 additional troops to
Afghanistan. But<a moz-do-not-send="true"

the U.S. policy there is a failure</a>. Democracy cannot be built
under a foreign military occupation. Afghans and their neighboring
countries must settle their conflict by negotiations. The U.S. can
provide development aid but cannot dictate the outcome. U.S. troops
must come home so that the healing can begin.</p>

billion war supplemental appropriation</a> to pay for the escalated
troop levels. To divide war opponents they are adding unrelated
sugar-coating, including funds for Vietnam-era veterans' Agent Orange
health care, Haiti earthquake aid, cleanup of the Gulf oil spill, and
funding for teachers, to the war appropriation.</p>
<p><b>Wipe the lipstick off the pig!</b> Tell Congress to vote NO
on Afghanistan war funding even if unrelated funds are attached. These
desperately needed funds for jobs, education, and health deserve to be
adopted on their own merits -- but they can and must be passed
separately.</p>
<p>The Senate is expected to vote on the war funding this week, <b>possibly
Wednesday</b>. <b> Call your Senator IMMEDIATELY at </b><strong>202-244-3121 </strong>and
give him or her three messages: (1) Vote NO on funding for the
Afghanistan war, no matter what other measures are attached to it. (2)
Vote YES on amendment 4204 to HR.4899 (the supplemental appropriation
bill), submitted by Sens. Boxer, Durbin and Merkley, which in
simplified language sets an exit timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops
from Afghanistan. (3) Join the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
