Sign John Kerry's Petition To Get Troops Out Of Iraq

John Kerry was on Meet the Press 9 days ago and articulated a coherent, responsible plan for troop withdrawal on a very limited timeline. Click here to sign his petition.

Generally, I think online petitions and online protests are pretty worthless because they don't display and any committment, legitimacy or worthiness of the participants. The bar is set too low, and it's too easy to join.

However, this one matters because names on a petition organized by an elected official displays his or her ability to reach out to the online community and raise money. Signing John Kerry's petition makes him a more powerful force when he speaks to the Senate and demands troop withdrawal.
