Unfortunately, the President's idea of a substantial drawdown of troops in Afghanistan is not even close to enough. I urge you to vote "NO" on the Defense Appropriation Bill. The only money that should go to Afghanistan is for the significant drawdown of troops. I support Rep. 
Barbara Lee’s Responsible End to the War in Afghanistan Act and her amendment to limit funding in Afghanistan to the safe, and orderly withdrawal of U.S. armed forces from Afghanistan. I also support limiting the president’s war powers, as defined in the amendment sponsored by Representatives Amash, Lee, Conyers, Jones, Nadler, and Paul, by striking Section 1034 from the National Defense Authorization Act. Between the human costs and the financial costs of this unsuccessful war, the only recourse is to withdraw more troops. Get out of Afghanistan and Iraq now. We are wasting an unconscionable amount of money there to harm people. Use that money here to help people.
