SEND THE BUSH TWINS TO BAGHDAD.

What if the President and Congress had to send those they love to fight the Iraq War? Wouldn’t it be over?

We agree with former Marine Rep. John Murtha that the Iraq War “is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion ... Continued military action in Iraq is not in the best interest of the United States of America, the Iraqi people or the Persian Gulf Region.”

We believe It’s Time To Come Home. But if the President and Congress won’t listen to those of us who want to end this war, the least they can do is send their children to fight!

The U.S. war in Iraq continues to cost American lives without providing security for us - or for the Iraqi people. There are more insurgents today than yesterday. IT'S TIME TO COME HOME.

We are closer to ending this war than many realize. A solid majority of Americans no longer support the war. Most Americans now believe the war has made us less safe. This summer, Cindy Sheehan’s vigil near President Bush’s ranch exposed the administration’s disregard for the concerns of America’s majority.

Some argue that because we are there, we cannot leave. But we should listen to what Iraqis say. While many are grateful Saddam is gone, a recent poll of Iraqi citizens found three of four see the United States not as liberators but as occupiers. A solid majority of Iraqis supports an immediate military pullout.

Congressman John P. Murtha (D-PA), Vietnam war hero and staunch military supporter, said it clearly:

"The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion … Our military is suffering. The future of our country is at risk ... Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency … Our military has done everything that has been asked of them, the U.S. can not accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. IT IS TIME TO BRING THEM HOME."

To end the war, American families must convince Congress to respect the will of our growing majority. We can do this when American citizens speak up. Only when our political leaders understand the depth of ordinary Americans’ feelings, will they find the strength to follow our lead.

Iraq veterans and their families are the experts on this war and its consequences. They know that because of the stubbornness of an out-of-touch few, ordinary Americans have paid -- and still are paying -- far too high a price for this war. With your help, we will create the "It’s Time to Come Home" DVD, a collection of first-hand testimony by veterans and their families about how this war has affected those closest to it. We will make this DVD widely available, and will schedule showings in communities.
