Dear Friends,
It is in your and our best interest to finally withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq. It is in the country's best interest.
The WikiLeaks revelations as to the nature of this war have finally been made public. The Bush war, if not terminated will
not become the Obama war, it will become our war. Congress will be voting on another $33 billion perhaps today and we must
flood our elected officials to vote NO! We urge you to notify them. CALL 888-493-5443 NOW OR E-MAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW.
Let them know the war is unwinnable. Save the lives of our service people. Bring them home alive. WikiLeaks and
PFC Bradley Manning should be thanked for bringing these revelations to the public.
Sincerely,
Lillian Rydell
