Senators Webb and Hagel are introducing an amendment this week to provide relief for our overextended troops. It ensures that active-duty troops spend equal amounts of time at home between deployments as they did in a combat zone; it also mandates that Guard and Reserve units cannot be redeployed until they have been home for three times the length of their first tour of duty. This legislation will not only provide our troops with the rest & recovery periods they need and deserve; it will also clip President Bush's wings and force him to begin drawing down the number of troops in Iraq.
Working Assets has an easy-to-use form that will enable you to voice your support for the measure to your Senators. Use the link above. Thanks.
