Dear CODEPINKer,

CODEPINK issued an alert on Thursday, December 3, about the President's West Point speech on Afghanistan and his failure to respond to the many voices calling for peace. We asked people to email the White House to voice their concerns.

The alert had been out for three minutes when the phone rang. It was the White House. They had been getting our emails non-stop and YOU were a part of making that happen.
Thank you for voicing your opinion, and know that your message got through.

Read Jodie Evans' article on her conversation with the White House here!
