Students for Victory

Students for Victory is an organization of university students committed to building a world free from extremist terrorism. We are dedicated to educating students and the public on college campuses, working to build public support for the defense of democracy against terrorism, and acting on our beliefs to support pro-victory policies and support those who fight to defend our liberties.

In December, President Obama announced thousands of additional US troops will be sent to Afghanistan in support of General McChrystal’s counterinsurgency strategy. We know from Iraq that a properly resourced counterinsurgency strategy will bring our troops home faster.

Sadly, Rep. Barbara Lee has introduced a bill, H.R. 3699, which would prohibit funding to these additional troops. The bill has 23 cosponsors, including Reps. Dennis Kucinich and Jim McDermott. In the face of this opposition, we need your help to ensure that Congress provides the resources our troops need to succeed.

Take a moment to check out http://afghanistan.studentsforvictory.com and spread the word about the importance of funding Gen. McChrystal's strong counterinsurgency strategy and thank our pro-victory elected officials for their strong leadership on this issue.

Please send a letter to the editor of your local paper at http://afghanistan.studentsforvictory.com and ask Congress to ensure that our troops in combat get the resources they need to succeed.
