Duke Augustus ask you to just take 30 seconds to end the war in Afghanistan by tweeting the title of this post. No need to look anything up or write anything.  Just copy, paste, & tweet.

What is #Afghanistan Tuesday?  The blog post Making an Impact on #AfghanistanTuesday describes it best:

October 6, 2011, marks ten years of U.S. war against Afghanistan. Ordinary Americans are saying, “Enough is enough!”

One of the ways they are showing how they feel is by making time every week to remember what’s happening in Afghanistan and push for change. On Twitter, this takes the form of #AfghanistanTuesday.

Want to go the next step and tweet your US Senators & Congressperson? You can only send 140 characters, but you can send as many tweets as you want.  You can find your US Senator by choosing your state from the drop-down list at the top right on this page. You can find out who your Congressperson is by putting your zip code in the box at the top right of this page.  Click through to their member page and it should list their twitter page, if they have one.   Please let me know if you find a more complete list somewhere.
