**5 House Progressives Can End the Wars**

Just 39 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 15,000 of you emailed your Representatives, and 34 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 5 more*.  15 
are leaning no, and 20 are undecided.
