When I checked the Code Pink website under the "Take Action" link, I found a petition with the following words:

"President Obama,

We, the women of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and the United States, implore you to refrain from sending more United States military forces to Afghanistan.

We encourage you to work quickly for a political solution in Afghanistan that will lead to a reconciliation process in which women will fully participate and a withdrawal of foreign military forces.

Sending more military forces will only increase the violence and will do further harm to women in children. Instead, the funds should be redirected to improving the health, education and welfare of the Afghan people."

I don't get the connection between this message and what Mr Raimondo just wrote?
