The next initiative for the antiwar movement was launched on October 25th with the announcement of the Bring the Troops Home Now! campaign.

The goal is to form local Bring the Troop Home Now! committees in hundreds of cities, college campuses, high schools, unions, and religious institutions. This is an exercise in classic grassroots democracy and it will help to continue the dramatic re-shaping of the political climate. Around the country, local Bring the Troops Home Now Committees are already meeting and heading out into their communities.

By engaging the broader population with the Bring the Troops Home petition, by collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures, by confronting all elected officials and candidates with the simple demand that the occupation be brought to end -- this grassroots movement will become an irresistible force impacting the political scene in a way similar to that of the peace movement during the Vietnam war.

We will continue to demonstrate, rally and intervene everywhere, but the Bring the Troops Home Referendum, available at the VoteNoWar.org site, is be a simple method of engaging in a country-wide dialogue with people in their communities, workplaces and schools. Millions of people are at the beginning of their own political process. They have become convinced that Bush lied and that thousands died. They are frustrated and angry with a government that is transferring the social wealth of society from programs that meet human need in order to finance a ghoulish vision of endless war, a vision which benefits only the corporations that make super-profits from the production of ever more lethal weapons. And an ever-growing number of people are fearful that cherished rights are being ripped to shreds under the banner of national security.

We have an opportunity, a challenge and an obligation to reach out to this growing section of the population and help bring them into the movement for peace, social justice and civil liberties.

Please help launch this new campaign in every way that you can. Form a Bring the Troops Home Now! Committee in your town or school. We need your help to make this vision a powerful reality - your financial contributions help us continue this important work Please use the secure server to donate on line at http://www.VoteNoWar.org, or to get address information to send a check.

Due to a technical glitch, an email sent out Monday night was received by some A.N.S.W.E.R. e-mail subscribers many, many times. As soon as we realized this was happening we took immediate steps to stop the problem and correct it. We do not believe it will happen again. As much as we are enthusiastic about reporting to all the many A.N.S.W.E.R. supporters and participants about upcoming anti-war work - our enthusiasm does not extend to junking up your email boxes. Please accept our apologies, and delete the extras.

I have been inspired. I think I will form a "Bring the Troops Home WHen the Mission is Completed" Committee...

We need to start a petition that thanks the troops for staying in Iraq to protect Americans here at home:

I,____________, the undersigned, do heartily thank the American troops for their commitment and their willingness to stay the course in Iraq. Their heroism, portrayed by a mission that focuses on routing out terrorism, is unsurpassed by anything we can do here within the physical shores of the United States of America.
