ACTION ITEM
I told Congress to stop the ISIS bombing using DownsizeDC.org's “Bring the Troops Home” campaign.
Please do the same. You may borrow from or copy this letter…
Stop our war in Syria and Iraq. Our intelligence agencies agree: ISIS is NOT a threat to the United States. (http://bit.ly/1z7XOdO)
That should be obvious! ISIS…
* wants to carve out a state in Iraq and Syria
* lacks resources to attack us
* is hated by EVERY nearby regime
* will NEVER be recognized as a “legitimate” State in the international community
Which means…
This isn’t our fight. If you MAKE ISIS our fight, you will inevitably…
* murder innocent civilians
* further inflame anti-American hatred, and that's what actually INCREASES the risk of terrorism
U.S. intervention against ISIS only empowers it! Otherwise, it’s not really a threat. So…
What do YOU know that the intelligence agencies (which you fund with my money) DON'T know?
And if YOU don't trust our national security bureaucracy about ISIS, why should we the people trust bureaucratic “experts” on any other issue, from the environment to health care?
STOP THE FEAR MONGERING. Stop the war, and BRING THE TROOPS HOME!

Eight weeks ago, the UK went on high alert, with an address to the nation by their Prime Minister. Our politicians were using phrases like, “existential threat” or “ISIS is already in the country.” Remember?
Downsize DC was resolute in its principles. Given enough time plus the policies of war-mongering politicians, it seems that a blowback, terrorist attack is inevitable, at some point. But starting late August, we suggested that you were probably being LIED TO.
Now, as you can see above, the scare narrative is falling apart. In fact, it's gotten much quieter.
We, at Downsize DC, gave you the intellectual tools. We furnished you with the means to tell your so-called representatives to STOP. And we continue to resist the fear mongering.
