Tell Congress: No More Money For Iraq
Target: U.S. House of RepresentativesSponsored by: Democrats.com
March 19 marked the 5th Anniversary of George Bush's disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq - yet there is no end in sight.
The costs so far are staggering: over 4,000 young Americans killed, tens of thousands maimed ... estimates of 1 million Iraqi civilians killed, millions more maimed or driven abroad ... $562 billion in tax dollars stolen from our children ... $3 trillion cost to our economy through veterans care, weapons replacement, higher oil prices, and the collapsing dollar.
All that in just 5 years!
We elected a Democratic Congress in 2006 to bring our troops home. They politely sent Bush one bill after another to "change the course," but he vetoed them all.
So Democrats have just one choice left: to Just Say No to any more funds for Iraq.
The Constitution gives Congress control of the Federal checkbook. George Bush cannot spend a penny unless Congress writes him a check.
Unfortunately, Congress has written one blank check after another, now totaling $562 billion. And now George Bush wants another blank check for $102 billion. Congress is set to vote on this next week.
Sign our petition to tell your Representative: no more money for Iraq, except to bring our troops safely home.

There has to be better ways to spend our money, than on an invasion. We should be thinking of ways to lower gas costs now!

Quit writing checks for the war and bring our troops home. Enough is enough. The war started because Bush lied. Why believe anything else he says about the war is true?

The war is ruining the global and local environments, killing and maiming our families who must support America and Iraq in the future, destroying two countries. What part of NO doesn't Mr. War Criminal Bush understand?!

We need more honest accountants in Congress and the White House looking out for US citizen's interests. This administration has irresponsibly mortgaged social security and our country's economic future to support a war no one supports. Let's get on the right track and save lives here and abroad, clean up our environment and get back to the business of leading the world for all the RIGHT, SOUND reasons.
