Soldiers Appeal

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq . Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.

Sgt Madden is making his opposition public less than two weeks before the midterm elections, in which the Republican party has been thrown on the defensive as public support for the war evaporates amid mounting US casualties and sectarian violence.

"The more informed I got, the more I opposed the war," he told the San Jose Mercury News. "The more people who died there, the longer we stayed there, the more I opposed the war. The more I know, the easier it is to support withdrawal."

If you are one of those voters who think the Iraq war is a pressing issue, but don't know enough about the situation to make an informed decision, why not listen to what our enlisted men and women have to say. Rep. Fossella wants them to 'stay the course' even though the President has now come out and said he may back down from that. Isn't it time we address the situation and remove our troops before any more unecessary injuries and death befall them. They deserve so much better than what this administration has done. Support our troops, vote for Stephen Harrison.
