MoveOn.org has sent an e-mail to its members today saying that while “some” members support President Obama’s decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, “a significant majority think escalating the war is wrong.” And, according to MoveOn, almost all of them want the war to end soon.

Nearly all MoveOn members agree that we must have a clear military exit strategy with a firm timeline so we can end the war quickly.

And this:

President Obama said he’ll begin withdrawing troops in July, 2011, but news reports are already suggesting that withdrawal could be very limited, so pressure from Congress will be key.

MoveOn is pushing its members to “act now to make sure our representatives and senators hold him to that” — by signing an e-petition.
