Bringing the Troops Home:

Wisconsin Green Party Launches Effort for
Referendum on Troop Withdrawal

The Wisconsin Green Party has committed itself to working with citizens across the state to place an advisory referendum on as many local ballots as possible in the April 2006 election to give Wisconsin citizens a chance to vote for a complete and immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

Following the successful example of anti-war activists in Vermont, where 50 towns and cities voted for resolutions calling for withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, the Green Party stands ready to work with the network of  peace and justice activists around the state, as well as with those who have loved ones in Iraq. The purpose is to give all Wisconsin voters a chance to be heard, and to end the disastrous, illegal and immoral US occupation of Iraq.  

Join with us as we seek to: 

• Make progress towards withdrawing our troops from Iraq
• Educate the public about the human and economic costs of the US occupation of Iraq
• Reinvigorate and unite the anti-war movement behind a common purpose
• Identify and support candidates and elected officials who want to bring the troops home
• Promote the War on Iraq to the forefront of issues in the 2006 elections
• Inspire citizens in other states through our example
