Sign the Mandate for Peace!

The people have spoken out through the 2006 mid-term election. By voting out pro-war candidates and changing control over Congress, we have repudiated war policies and issued a mandate for new policies that promote peace and international cooperation. We insist that the newly elected Congress, in its earliest days in office, pass legislation requiring the prompt removal of all US troops from Iraq and discontinue funding for military purposes in Iraq except the safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces.

2006 Mandate for Peace The people have spoken out through the 2006 mid-term election. By voting out pro-war candidates and changing control over Congress, we have repudiated war policies and issued a mandate for new policies that promote peace and international cooperation. More and more of us understand that the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq was based on lies, that it was unjustified and illegal, and that it has sullied our reputation around the world and made us less safe at home. For months now, polls have shown that a majority of Americans (including active duty troops in Iraq) want the US troops to come home. Several polls have shown that the vast majority of Iraqis also want all foreign occupation forces to leave their country. In order to restore the bonds of trust between the people--who want a swift end to the Iraq war--and our elected representatives--who have not represented the will of the majority with regards to Iraq--the peace-loving people of the United States issue the following call: We insist that the newly elected Congress, in its earliest days in office, pass legislation requiring the prompt removal of all US troops from Iraq and discontinue funding for military purposes in Iraq except the safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces. Additionally, Congress should: - Make real its existing stated commitment to no permanent US military bases in Iraq. - Support an Iraqi-led reconciliation process to shape a peaceful post-occupation transition. - Investigate and punish companies engaged in illegal war profiteering. - Commit significant funds to the reconstruction of Iraq, under the control and direction of Iraqis. - Provide funding for full benefits, adequate healthcare, and other support for returning servicemen and women. - Make every effort possible to ensure the peaceful resolution of conflicts with Iran and North Korea.
