I know that the media keeps insisting that nobody cares about Iraq anymore. But when I talk to voters in my district, they don't seem to have gotten the memo. Instead, they almost always ask as one of their first two or three questions, "How are you going to end the war in Iraq?"
I thought it might be a good idea to give them a real answer.
In August at the Burn Bush town hall, we featured retired Major General Paul Eaton, who had been Petraeus's predecessor in Iraq. And I asked him, prior to the town hall, if he'd be willing to work with me to help craft a realistic, responsible plan to end the war.
He said yes.
So I reached out to other challengers and experts, and we've been working together to provide an answer to the question my voters (and voters in other districts) have been asking. Donna Edwards, Eric Massa, Chellie Pingree, Jared Polis, Tom Perriello, Larry Byrnes, George Fearing, Steve Harrison, and I are committed to responsibly ending this war -- and making sure we don't repeat the same mistakes again.
On Monday at 5:30 EST/2:30 PST we'll roll the the plan out at Take Back America in Washington DC. We're also going to stream it so you can participate even if you're not able to join us in person. I'll post more details on where it'll be streamed as we get them.
