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