One Signature Away From Peace
A compelling email to Obama supporters just arrived. Here’s the lede:
A piece of paper will soon be placed on George Bush’s desk in the Oval Office.
By picking up a pen and signing his name to it, he could end the war in Iraq.
The House and Senate united and passed a bill that would provide for our troops now and begin a redeployment from Iraq to bring them home.
We’re just one signature away from ending the tragic mistake that has cut short thousands of American lives, cost tens of billions of dollars, and destroyed America’s global moral leadership. But only if the president signs the bill.
It’s a powerful statement, and a sobering thought: with a single signature, we could begin a new direction for American foreign policy, for American global leadership, and finally start closing one of our nation’s darkest chapters.
