BACKGROUND: On March 23, 2007, the U S House of Representatives passed an Iraq funding bill that sets a deadline for withdrawal of our troops, along with other "pork", which faces a promised veto from the White House. This has the potential to leave our troops in a combat situation without adequate funding if an acceptable compromise cannot be reached, to the detriment of our troops. House Approves 2008 Deadline for troop Withdrawal
THE PETITION STATES: The recent funding bill for our troops that was passed by the U S House of Representatives sets a withdrawal date and contains additional pork, and faces a promised veto from the White House. This has the potential end result of having our troops in harm's way WITHOUT ADEQUATE FUNDING if a bill that is acceptable to all parties cannot be agreed to. With the different options available to Congress for making their opinions of the current conflict known, we the undersigned OPPOSE tying funding for the troops to ANY preconditions for as long as our troops are in harm's way . We find it ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE for our troops to be used as pawns in ANY political battles, and demand that any bills funding our troops be passed with NO PRECONDITIONS for the duration of the conflict. Our troops deserve no less. |
