Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA) Chellie Pingree (ME-1) have sent Presidant  
Barack Obama regarding U.S. efforts in Afghanistan. While it doesn't  
explicitly that they will oppose further funding of military action  
there, it does say that that Obama needs to submit a comprehensive  
plan, including when its goals need be achieved and withdrawal of U.S.  
troops begin, "for Congress to responsibly consider further funding  
requests for the war."

Pingree and Lee will begin circulating that letter amongst their  
colleagues today for their signatures.

The full text of the letter is below the fold:
