ALERT:
Within the next 3 weeks or so, Congress will take up Bush's war supplemental request for another $102 billion (which will make the total cost $624 billion). Call Rep. Doris Matsui, Mike Thompson, Senators Boxer and Feinstein, and Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi and tell them you don't want to wait for the next administration to end the hiddeous occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Tell them you want ALL the U.S. troops and military contractors brought home now.
After nearly five years, the invasion and occupation of Iraq has killed a estimated million-plus Iraqis, nearly 4000 U.S. soldiers (not counting those who have killed themselves), devastated the lives and families of both U.S. soldiers and the Iraqi people, and wasted nearly a half a trillion dollars!
To reach all senators & Congressional representatives, call 202-224-3121(operates 24/7)
