Letter to Represenative Shuler and Senators Burr and Hagan

I urge you to use the upcoming debate over $33 billion more for war and occupation in Afghanistan to highlight the human cost of continuing the war for Americans and Afghans.

From the NY Times:  “We have shot an amazing number of people, but to my knowledge, none has ever proven to be a threat,” said Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, who became the senior American and NATO commander in Afghanistan last year. His comments came during a recent video conference to answer questions from troops in the field about civilian casualties.

We need to start working on an exit strategy.  Please demand that an exit strategy be presented BEFORE voting for more money for this war and occupation.
