Bring Them Home: A Virtual March on Congress

President Obama is now deciding how large the July withdrawal from Afghanistan will be. The Pentagon is pushing for a withdrawal as small as 5000 soldiers, so that's why we've been asking our supporters to give Congress their personal, from the heart reasons for why they want them to push the President to end the war as soon as possible. We've pulled together a selection of those messages, so you can see for yourself.

So far we've collected close to 8000 personal messages from people around the country who want to end the war in Afghanistan. We are including a single toy soldier with each message, to remind members of Congress of the lives that are on the line. We needed your personal voices, because studies show that personal messages have the strongest political impact on how policymakers feel about an issue. Keep clicking through to see some of the powerful messages we have collected for yourself.
