Last week, over 5,000 Americans began demanding answers from Congress and the White House before the administration takes any further steps towards war. Add your voice by signing our petition today encouraging a full debate before further escalation in taking the fight to ISIS.

I started this petition because I see no gain to the US taxpayer of policing the planet, at the expense of so many needs right here that could make our lives better and easier. Indeed, doing so may be picking winners and losers among the global corporations.

I started this petition to question why the USA should be taking the lead on a regional problem.

I am sick and tired of lies and deception brought to us by the military industrial complex. We can't bomb our way to peace. The way to fight ISIS is to get weapons out of the region, not into it.

I am tired of the president and congress complaining about lack of funds and how we have to either have our taxes raised or lose important funding for programs that benefit the US citizens. Yet we have money for military equipment and actions at a drop of the hat. I strongly feel we need to concentrate on our own issues at home

I firmly believe it is important for us as a nation to take care of our troops and to fulfill the promise of affordable and appropriate care that is made to them when they enlist to serve their country. The Veterans Administration Health Care System is not a handout. It is the right of every soldier who serves to receive VAHCS benefits. This system, as highlighted by recent scandals in the media, clearly cannot handle it's purpose of providing affordable, appropriate, and timely health care. Another large influx of veterans from a Syrian conflict would cause more devastation within this system. Please help me protect our current veterans' benefits by ensuring we don't create more of them until this broken system is fixed and funded. Thank you.

There are better ways to address terrorism than war. In order to curb terrorism the reasons driving it must be honestly addressed and then acted on in responsible, reasonable ways.

I'm tried of my tax money going to arm the very terrorists we are fighting. We need to spend our tax money right here in the United States.

I started this petition so the American people will get an honest answer from elected official on this most important issue that effects the public directly.

I want to know who is funding these monsters and make them stop or make them pay!

The US has been at war in the region since 9/11 and little has changed. Why is the Middle East a US concern? What will military interventions accomplish that wasn't accomplished in more than a decade of fighting? Are we profiteering from the conflict or hoping to do so via arms sales or control of oil production?

I am a disabled veteren. We can't keep up with the demands of mental and physical healthcare now, yet you want to create more wounded warriors?
