Stand Up For Displaced Iraqi Civilians!
Target: George W. Bush, PresidentSponsored by: Ploughshares Fund
The displacement of Iraqis is now the fastest-growing refugee crisis in the world. The UN estimates that 2 million Iraqis have fled the violence in their country, and another million have left their homes seeking refuge in other parts of Iraq. Over one hundred thousand more flee every month. Yet, incredibly, President Bush has yet to acknowledge the magnitude of the crisis.
Neighboring countries are being overwhelmed by the massive influx of refugees. Refugees International reports that the violence in Iraq has reached a deadly tipping point - most Iraqis feel that their lives are in danger. The chaotic displacement of so many people feeds the cycle of conflict and violence that shows no sign of abating.
The U.S. must act now to ease this problem, including:Sign the petition below to tell President Bush that he must not ignore the plight facing displaced Iraqis any longer.

The U.S. must act now to ease this problem, including:
- increasing funding for the UN Refugee Agency;
- supporting neighboring countries that are absorbing the majority of the refugees; and
- taking responsibility for resettling the most vulnerable, including those who are targeted for death because of past association with Americans.

We go over there to "free" families from tyrants, but then we leave them orphaned and hurting. Shame on you Bush for allowing this to happen. Please for the sake of humanity, give them back hope after taking away most of what they have.

When is enough enough? Time has come to start cleaning up the mess we started years ago. Allow the country to fend for itself and provide support and aid but let them have the power. As a nation our leaders need to admit the impact this conflict has caused on both nations and the surrounding areas. We need to provide support to the UN for takeing up the slack of taking care of the Iraqi civilians. We need to remember that this was not thier fault. We need to take care of them and get them back home!

Bush should already be impeached for human rights abuses but also imprisoned for the crimes against the children of this country that did nothing to the US people. Using this country to further fill the greedy pockets of no bid contractors, is the true cause of this war, and the reasoning behind this crime. This must be stopped and his crimes should be paid for with impeachment and jail.
