A Petition To Congress And The President — Mr. President And Congress — We Call Upon You To...
• END THE U.S. BOMBING CAMPAIGN that, because of civilian victims (so-called “collateral damage”), actually recruits for the terrorists instead of defeating them—exactly the opposite of its stated goal of stopping ISIS and making us safer.
• REMOVE U.S. BOOTS ON THE GROUND — inserting US forces into Syria’s complex civil war is a dangerous escalation of the war that threatens a much wider conflict.
• STOP ARMS SHIPMENTS AND FINANCING OF ISIS BY OUR OWN ALLIES! — America's allies, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar allow wealthy donors inside their borders to funnel huge sums of money and arms to ISIS and other terrorist groups. ISIS also raises millions of dollars by selling oil drilled on its captured lands on the black market in Turkey, which refuses to stop the sales. The U.S. must insist that its allies end this support for ISIS.
• SAY NO TO A "NO FLY ZONE." — Such a zone would require substantial U.S. ground troops and cost $1 billion a month, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It would be gross escalation of the conflict in Syria.
• SUPPORT NEGOTIATIONS — Strongly support talks among the U.S., Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the Assad government and other interested parties. Negotiate without preconditions. The horrible Syrian civil war can only be solved by political negotiations, not military force.
• AID SYRIAN REFUGEES — Significantly increase the number of Syrian refugees allowed to enter our country and fully fund UN programs that aid the millions of Syrian refugees. During the past 4 years, the U.S. has admitted only 1,500 refugees compared to Germany’s agreement to accept 800,000.
