Home » Ending the War in Iraq

The War in Iraq is a disaster for America and our morale standing in the world. Hundreds of thousands of people dead or wounded -- whether they were American soldiers, innocent Iraqis, or high paid mercenary contractors – DFA members are working to heal the damage and end this tragedy right now.

DFA members were against the Iraq War before the invasion and have never stopped working to bring our troops home since it began. Our members have made phone calls to congress and written letters to editorial boards and elected leaders demanding a quick and safe withdrawal of U.S. military forces.

In 2006, we created the wave of support for Democratic congressional candidates that lead to overwhelming victory and a new Democratic majority by focusing candidates on ending the tragedy Iraq. We led them to victory on a platform that called for a steady and quick withdrawal that would bring all our brave men and women home. Freshman Democrats were not able to turn the tide against an unwavering President and partisan blocked Senate and our fight continues today.

In 2008, DFA members have drawn attention to the economic costs of the war and the collateral damage it has done to the American economy. Most importantly, we are working to elect a new Democrat President who will end the war and bring the long process of healing our nation and restoring America’s standing n the world.
