To Our Representatives in the Congress of the United States:

Democracy for NYC declares its wholehearted and enthusiastic support of Homeward Bound H.J. Res. 55 and Senate Resolution 171.

Homeward Bound is a bi-partisan resolution co-sponsored by Representatives Neil Abercrombie (D-HI), Walter Jones (R-FL), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Ron Paul (R-TX), Marty Meehan (D-MA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) which requires President Bush to create a realistic exit strategy for the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Iraq.

Senate Resolution 171, introduced by Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), asks the President to submit to Congress a report on the time frame for the withdrawal of United States troops from Iraq including any variables that could alter the determined time frame.

Our membership believes that these bills are good and appropriate first steps toward ending the U.S. occupation of Iraq and bringing our troops home safely.

Democracy for NYC respectfully and urgently requests that our Senators and Representatives in the House sponsor and vote for these resolutions.
