Appeal for Redress
Over 100 U.S. military personnel have organized a petition drive calling on Congress to bring troops home from Iraq.
Marine Sergeant Liam Madden, who has had reservations about the war since his unit was sent to Iraq in late 2004, will reportedly unveil the petition today, which is featured on the website Appeal to Redress.
Those organizing the effort -- Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, and Veterans for Peace -- say the wording of the appeal is "short and simple ... [i]t is patriotic and respectful in tone:"
UPDATE: It's actually 219 military personnel submitting the petition, 98 of them active duty.

As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.Visit here for more information.
