Osama Bin Laden is dead. Get the troops home now.
On Sunday night, we learned that U.S. forces killed Osama Bin Laden. After 10 years of war, it's time to bring the troops home from Afghanistan.

Please sign this petition immediately to the White House to begin a swift withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. Then, invite others to sign it on Facebook and email.

We've received tens of thousands of signatures in just 24 hours, and we've caught the attention of Washington, D.C. Here's what U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) had to say about it on Democracy Now! today:

his petition...really does give us the wind beneath our wings that we need here in Congress to begin to exercise our leadership responsibilities and to say no more combat operation in Afghanistan. And so, I really want to commend Robert and all those who have begun this.”

With Bin Laden dead and al-Qaeda driven from Afghanistan, there's no good reason to continue spending $2 billion a week on this war.

Please join the tens of thousands of others calling for the return of our troops to the U.S. after the death of Osama Bin Laden. Sign our petition today.

Sincerely,

Derrick Crowe, Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Foundation team
