25 House Progressives Can End the Wars *
On Monday, we said just 40 House Progressives could end the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan/Pakistan (Af/Pak) by opposing the Pentagon's demand for
another $95 billion. That's because all 178 Republicans will vote no
over $5 billion for the IMF.
Nearly 10,000 of you emailed your Representatives, and 15 House Progressives
<http://www.democrats.com/progressives-and-bluedogs-can-defeat-war-supplemental>
responded to you by opposing the $95 billion. So now we need *just 25 more. *
