Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty Restoration Act of
2007, H.R. 508
The "Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty Restoration Act
of 2007," H.R. 508, was introduced last week by Reps. Lynn
Woolsey (D - CA6), Barbara Lee (D - CA9), and Maxine Waters (D -
CA35), with the following intent: "To require United States
military disengagement from Iraq, to provide United States
assistance for reconstruction and reconciliation in Iraq, and
for other purposes."
Be sure and personalize the email in the first part of the
message. Here's mine:
Troop escalation without congressional approval is already an
impeachable offense. The Repugs and the Dims have been
destroying the Constitution for decades for their increase in
government powers. IT'S TIME TO START DOING YOUR JOBS of
representing the People and not your self interests. Return our
historical background Consitution. Make voting accurate and
secure. Impeach Bush/Cheney. Investigate 911. Get rid of the
un-Constitutional and illegal Federal Reserve. Get rid of graft
and corruption. Stop nuclear proliferation and nuclear plants
which are spewing radiation all over the globe. Support Tesla
cars. Support individual alternative renewable energy for
independence from energy corporations. Support Peace. Stop
interfering in other people's governments. Get rid of the CIA
involvement in our news media. Return our Free Press from the
propaganda Corporate press. START SUPPORTING THE HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND CONSTITUTION AS YOU HAVE SWORN IN YOUR OATHS OF
OFFICE. "Do not separate text from historical background. If you
do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution,
which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of
illegitimate government." --- James Madison.

This bill - which Peace Action Education Fund was involved in
creating - mandates that all U.S. troops and military
contractors in Iraq return to the U.S. or redeploy outside of
the Middle East within six months of the date of enactment, at
which point funding obligated or expended to deploy or continue
to deploy U.S. forces in Iraq will be terminated. H.R. 508 would
also repeal the 2002 authorization of force resolution approved
to go to war with Iraq.
A truly comprehensive piece of legislation to end the war, H.R.
508 would also do the following:
* authorize U.S. support for replacing U.S. troops and
contractors with an international stabilization force
* prohibit any permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq
* accelerate U.S. troop and contractor assistance for training
of a permanent Iraqi police force
* authorize a wide array of non-military U.S. bilateral and
multilateral assistance for reconstruction and reconciliation in
Iraq, including a compensation fund for Iraqi noncombatant
civilian casualties
* guarantee complete health care for U.S. veterans of military
operations in Iraq and other conflicts.
This is very important: even if this bill does not pass, the
amount of support we can generate for it will help push the
debate, and any legislation Congress does pass, in our
direction. Click here to let your Representative know that you
expect them to co-sponsor H.R. 508.

Peace Action Education Fund, along with our members, supporters
and colleagues, has lobbied long and hard for many of the
provisions in this act, and its introduction represents a shift
toward real security based on international cooperation and the
defense of human rights - as opposed to the endless war strategy
of the Bush Administration. It would build trust with the Iraqi
people and others in the Middle East, guarantee that the federal
government meets its obligations to the many veterans who have
sacrificed so much in this war, provide reparations and
reconstruction for the Iraqi people, and offers a formal avenue
for members of the House to admit their error in authorizing
Bush to use force in the first place.
This is the bill we have been waiting for, and working toward,
for a long time. Please take a moment to send your
Representative an email and let them know that non-binding
resolutions are not enough - demand that the co-sponsor H.R.
508, the "Bring the Troops Home and Iraqi Sovereignty
Restoration Act of 2007."

"Right now, it is easier for us to embrace the status quo, than
it is to take a different course - we as a people see these
alternative courses of actions as more painful than the status
quo - but someday the status quo will be more painful and
difficult than the change and then we will embrace the change.
People change when they are ready to change - when it is time to
change - the same can be said for the masses." "America does not
need a Regime Change, America needs a Regime Removal."
