National Call-In Days November 23-25 : No More Troops to  Afghanistan!
 
President Obama is still deciding whether to escalate the US military  
presence in Afghanistan. He is under intense pressure from the military to step  
up the war. We need to send a loud and clear message from the American 
public  that this would be a disastrous decision !
 
For three days people from every corner of the country will be flooding the 
 White House with calls, letting the President know that we oppose sending 
more  troops to Afghanistan and want him to end this war. Historians Against 
War is  joining with the Institute for Policy Studies, American Friends 
Service  Committee, Peace Action, CodePink, United for Peace and Justice, Just 
Foreign  Policy and many other national organizations to spread the word.
 
What you can do: 
 
*On Monday-Wednesday November 23-25  call the White House  202-456-1111 or 
email though website _www.whitehouse.gov/contact_ 
(http://m1e.net/c?42035354-63SWkJ1vZlKZQ@4797419-dzqkz6nXfHXEA)  and  let them know that you oppose 
further escalation and want a troop withdrawal to  begin now. 


* Mobilize people on your campus, schools or other places of work  to 
participate in these call-in days. Consider organizing a  phone-a-thon at a 
central location, where people can make these calls or use  your personal 
list-serves to forward this message and ask friends colleagues to  do the same.
 
* Call your member of Congress and ask them to co-sponsor Congresswoman  
Barbara Lee's bill HR 3699 -which would deny funding for more troops in  
Afghanistan. Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121, 202-225-3121


*And please let us know if you are participating in effort.
