Hi, Dennis here,

This week a privileged resolution will be brought to the floor of the 
House of Representatives to make an attempt to try to get America out of 
the war in Afghanistan.

This resolution, which I wrote, requires the President to remove the 
troops within 30 days from the time the resolution is passed and no 
later than December 31st, 2010.

There are many reasons why we need to get out of Afghanistan; I'll just 
name a few.

We're spending hundreds of billions of dollars - total waste - because 
the Afghanistan central government is totally corrupt. We have a 
thousand troops whose lives have been lost. And many more injured, some 
of them permanently. Countless individual Afghanistan citizens have been 
killed or injured as a result of this conflict.

We should take heed from the Russian experience in Afghanistan. 
Afghanistan is not going to be conquered and we have to understand that 
the weight of history has been against our efforts from the start.

Now we have to determine whether or not America will take a new 
direction in Afghanistan. Not to go in deeper with the surge, but to get 
out. That's what is going to be discussed this week in Washington.

Please, help us. Please, get the word out. Please, contact anyone who 
you think could be influential in getting members of Congress to pay 
close attention to this vote. The vote will occur on Wednesday.

Thank you, as always, for your help and for your determination to see a 
more peaceful world created.

Thank you.
Dennis
