Action pnum457 Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Start bringing out troops home from Iraq ********** [064852:100206] C.D., Akron, OH I agree we need to get out of Iraq and let that Country step up to the plate and work out whatever it is they need to do. Now that Saddam is gone, our military should be at home. Iraq is not as defenseless as the government has made it out to be and why should our troops as well as other countries troops continue to die for this so called cause? having family in the military I know more of the truth rather than not, I mean our military didn't even equip our men with the proper gear and families have had to push for it and purchase it themselves...what kind of government our we anyhow. Thanks for letting me share. I also believe that President Bush should be impeached and soon, we can't afford another year or so of the mess this man has made with all his other cabinet people. Christina Akron Ohio ********** [090850:092506] d.s., Sequim, WA please bring our service people home now. We are not wanted in Iraq to solve problems and never should have opened up a war. We are spending and borrowing money to keep the war going and our own country is floundering in many ways. This war is a huge mistake we must get out now! ********** [192715:092106] S.D., Eugene, OR I agree with Charles W. Sanders completely, we cannot hope to win this war in Iraq, the Bush clan never shared any real plan for success with the American people or with congress and this is what we get. We need to absolutely hold Bush and company accountable for all their lies and crimes. They are truely despicable people and should be removed from the White House immediately before they drag our country and all that it stands for down any deeper and into anymore slime and filth. ********** [141510:091506] e.m., Black Diamond, WA Yes!!!!!! Democracy is a grass roots endeavor. That means that the folks who live under it must create it or they will not value it. It will never take hold if the folks who are to live under it do not have to invest themselves into the creation of their own government. We should have pulled our troops out when Bush landed on that carrier with the banner "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" ; that is the sad thing Bush knew we were done in Iraq, then but stubbornly refused to hand the bone back to Iraq. We need to go back to how the French treated us when they aided our revolution, did they send troops back for our civil war? They left us about our own business of making our government, they let us do our own civil war and figure out things for ourselves. The only reason for US troops to remain in Iraq is to secure the theft of Iraqi oil for the despoiling by US oil tycoons to make them richer. ********** [060550:091406] A.M., Auburn, IN My friends in the military are exhausted, angry and disillusioned. It is time to bring them home! ********** [060020:091406] C.S., Ramona, CA "Cut and Run" is smarter than "Stay and Die". Please bring home now! ********** [054916:091306] V.O., Santa Cruz, CA Bring home the troops now. We are involved in an illegal war, and alas are making the world less safe. Our troops are less safe too - not provided with adequate protection and exposed to toxic chemicals likely to cause them longterm health challenges and early deaths. Many innocent Iraqi people are dying. This war is not worth it. We have a president who cares more about lining the pockets of a few cronies than about his country and its people. This is shameful and it is time all Americans elected intelligent, peace-oriented candidates with track records for helping low- and middle-income people rather than the richest few. End the war now; bring our troops home and give them excellent medical and psychological care. Apologize to the Iraqi people and the world. No more war for oil. We can do better than that. ********** [110856:091206] c.p., Turner, OR Please, please, please, Bring the troops home, where they belong ********** [082838:091206] M.P., Oceanside, CA PLEASE FIGHT AND BE WILLING TO STAND FOR WHAT IS TRUE AND JUST-OUR TROOPS ARE NOTHING BUT TARGETS FOR PEOPLES THAT HAVE BEEN FIGHTING EACH OTHER SINCE ANCIENT TIMES-WE HAVE NO LEGITIMATE REASON TO OCCUPY IRAQ-DEMAND A PLAN TO RETURN OUR TROOPS SOON. DO NOT BUCKLE TO THIS EVIL AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION. ********** [200945:091106] J.A., Monroe, NY On this tragic anniversary, don't you think it's time we brought our troops home from Iraq and started focusing on the people (Osama bin-Laden, Al-Qaeda, etc.) who actually attacked us five years ago? ********** [181509:091106] s.k., Gays Mills, WI As the mother of a sergeant returning to Iraq for his second year tour of duty, I ask you to join other members of Congress to start bringing the troops home.The war was a mistake, at best, with no plan for the rebuilding. or anything else.Please support the troops by bringing them home. ********** [054432:091106] M.M., Glen Ellyn, IL Bush LIED and continues to LIE while our soldiers and others DIE ********** [192404:091006] S.B., Saint James City, FL After all the publicity lately about the government not following the Constitution, nor the rules of our American government, I feel that the American people were duped into entering this war. Viet Nam should have taught politicians a lesson in regards to war. We have, since the beginning of our Democracy, always been a peaceful democracy, not one that wants to be ruler of all the countries of the world and make them do what the President thinks they should be ruled. ********** [183019:091006] M.S., Saint Petersburg, FL Lets stop killing inocent people and getting our troops killed. Bring them home. ********** [155310:091006] S.P., Fall City, WA Start brining our troops home! Enought is enough. It's time to have a viable plan in hand for ending America's role in this war. Turn the country back to the people of Iraq. ********** [005652:090906] S.L., Hattiesburg, MS If Baghdad were your city, would you support the occupation? ********** [023338:090806] J.B., New York, NY It's time to extract ourselves from Iraq. The more we place the responsibility on Iraq, the faster they will adjust to their problems. They have to find their own solutions. ********** [151400:090706] N.C., Sequim, WA This war is a horrific con job on the American People perpetrated by what are revealed to be right wing extremist neo-con facists. They are hiding behind a false front of patriotism and religion to destroy our democracy. Our military is nothing but mercenaries for the large corporations. 3,000 killed, when will enough be enough. Do something to stop this crime. ********** [072052:090706] s.n., Casselberry, FL WELL KARL ROVE IN ACTION AGAIN, AS USUAL, EVERY ELECTION THIS EVIL MAN COME WITH THIS FANTACY LIES AGAINST DEMOCRATS, THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO STAY IN POWER, THEY ARE LIKE LIBERMEN , ANOTHERTRAITOR, WHO HE THINKS THE SENATE IS FOR EVER FOR HIM, THA PEOPLE SPOKE AND HE DON'T LISTEN, WE DON'T WANT YOU ANY MORE, GO HOME, WE WANT NEW FACES, NEW BLOOD, LIEBERMEN BLOOD IS IS THE COLOR REPUBLICAN, RED,THIS MAN IS A SELFIH, ONLY LOVE LIBERMAN, NO THE PARTY HE WAS REPRESENTING, ********** [064054:090706] K.B., Ann Arbor, MI Thank you for telling the truth. Far to few of our representatives are willing to say what they really mean and because of that, America continues to suffer the consequences. ********** [000316:090706] S.H., Saint Paul, MN As a member of "the '60s generation," I was heartsick when we invaded Iraq. Now, with over 2,500 American dead, thousands more wounded - many grievously, and countless innocent Iraqi civilians slaughtered in the name of "liberation," I am morally outraged that this senseless conflict continues. Having massively destabilized what was already the most volatile region on the planet, I see no honorable way for us to retreat. But leave we must, quickly, before we bring nuclear catastrophe to all of humanity. Sincerely, Sue Halligan ********** [190220:090606] A.H., Saint Albans, WV Our troops have done everything that has been asked of them, they can't change the Iraqi's mindset and stiop a civil war. ********** [182423:090606] J.C., Ventura, CA As a candidate for political office, Mr Sanders, please keep in mind that the media is complicit in covering up the REAL body count. EVERY American who has lost their life on foreign soil, under the guise of "Iraqi freedom" deserves to be included.....to date, that's over 20,000. Let's get some accountability here, once and for all...signed, A Veteran for Peace. ********** [120716:090606] J.K., Mays Landing, NJ At last a Dem that has the guts to tell the king he is naked, now we only have to convince the rest of the country, the world alreadies knows it to be fact. ********** [120701:090606] J.K., Mays Landing, NJ At last a Dem that has the guts to tell the king he is naked, now we only have to convince the rest of the country, the world alreadies knows it to be fact. **********
