To: President Donald Trump
** Bring our Troops Home Now **
We, the undersigned, urge the President to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2012. Our nation has spent $450 billion on the 10-year war in Afghanistan. Our brave troops and their families have paid an immeasurable price. American families cannot afford to wait three more years to bring our troops home.
Why is this important?
The only acceptable timeline for bringing our troops home is the fastest responsible withdrawal possible.
The danger for the United States is not a military defeat; it is a slow bleeding of our economic vitality at a time when we can least afford it. While billions of taxpayer dollars are spent on this war, America's cities - from New York to Omaha - are facing profound economic crisis. Don't wait, end this war today.
