Monday. Nov. 23 through Wednesday, Nov. 25 -- 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. eastern time

Call 202-456-1111.

For 3 days, people from every corner of the country will be flooding the White House with calls. We oppose sending more troops to Afghanistan; we want the troops that are there now to be brought home! If you cannot get through on Monday, call on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Most importantly, make your call and make your voice heard!

While some news reports suggest President Obama is likely to send additional troops, there is still time for the American people to influence this decision! The President must know that there is NOT support for continuing this war that is costing billions of dollars, thousands of lives and increased hardship both in Afghanistan and here at home. The first step is to not send more troops. The next step must be the withdrawal of the troops currently there.

This is the moment when we can have an impact.

Call the White House - 202-456-1111- and tell President Obama:

* No additional troops to be sent to Afghanistan.

* Start the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

* Begin serious diplomacy and dialogue with all parties to the conflict, internal and external, as well as independent Afghan women leaders, without preconditions.

* Redirect the tens of billions of dollars spent yearly on Afghanistan war funding to human needs in Afghanistan and at home.

It is also vitally important to keep the pressure on Congress. While you are at your phone, won't you call your Representative and Senators? They control the money for this war and will be asked for additional funds if more troops are sent.

Representatives in the House should be asked to commit to voting NO on more war money and also to sign on to Barbara Lee's bill - H. R. 3699 - which would deny funding for more troops in Afghanistan.

To call your members of Congress, call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or 202-225-3121. If you are not sure who your Representative is, click here.
