The American people overwhelmingly agree:
ZERO Troops in Afghanistan!
Bring the War Dollars Home!
All of our troops can finally come home from Afghanistan in 2014, as
promised, UNLESS the U.S. & Afghanistan governments sign the
Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA). The U.S. government is practically
begging the Afghanistan government to let
the U.S. military remain in Afghanistan until at least
2024! The American people in overwhelming numbers say NO! Bring the troops
home! Bring the war dollars home!
The two leading candidates in the runoff election for president in
Afghanistan have agreed to sign the BSA agreement, but WE THE PEOPLE know the
decision allowing American troops to remain in Afghanistan should not belong
to either the new Afghanistan President or President Obama - it belongs to
the American and Afghan people.
We
must tell President Obama:
“THE CORRECT NUMBER OF TROOPS LEFT IN AFHANISTAN IS
ZERO!”
