After three years and the death of more than 2,300 American soldiers in Iraq, Congress has yet to consider, debate and vote on alternatives to the President's disastrous course. Alternatives to the Bush stay-the-course policy - including those favored by most of our soldiers stationed in Iraq - have been ignored, and Congressional leaders continue to refuse to allow a full and open debate where all options to the open-ended occupation of Iraq are considered and voted on.

Americans, including our soldiers stationed in Iraq, want the U.S. to change course. Iraqi citizens agree:

* 72% of U.S. soldiers in Iraq believe that they have done all they can militarily and that our troops should leave Iraq within a year, and more than one in four say troops should leave immediately.

* Two out of three Americans think that the administration is mismanaging the war in Iraq.

* A majority of Americans believe it is time to start bringing our troops home.

* Two-thirds of Iraqis oppose the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq.

Now, a bi-partisan group of Members of Congress and thousands of Americans across the country are demanding that the House of Representatives immediately begin a debate where ALL alternatives to the failed Bush policy in Iraq are considered and voted on.

How? With 218 signatures on a petition called House Resolution 543, regular business in the House of Representatives must stop and a 17 hour debate on the Iraq war must immediately begin. The debate will require that Congress consider and vote on all amendments offered as alternatives to the Bush administration's policies in Iraq.

Currently, 112 Members of Congress have signed the petition. With you help, we can reach 218 and force Congressional leaders to allow an open and honest debate and votes on the Iraq war. It's time.
