Right now the entire world is talking about Afghanistan, and this is our chance to be heard! Take 10 minutes this week: 5 on the phone to Congress, and 5 bringing our message on Afghanistan to the media. If we each take one action to say "Out Now" imagine the impact our combined voices will have sweeping across the country!

Call Senator Merkley about his promise
