Email this PetitionEugene PeaceWorks wants your help to stop the ongoing spending for war in Iraq.
Despite the renewed opposition to the war with the most recent election, Congress is telling us that they plan to continue funding it. Many congress people who have voted against and spoken out against the war have continued to vote for enormous spending packages that ultimately allow the war to continue.
An important piece to ending the war must include opposition to the constant spending for the war.
EPW wants your support to launch a campaign to stop the continual support of these spending packages by some Oregon congress people.
This petition will be sent to Oregon Senators Gordon Smith and Ron Wyden as well as Representative Peter DeFazio.

| 235 | 5:58 pm PST, Feb 18 | Anand Keathley | Eugene | Oregon | War is murder. It is schizophrenic that the military uses that most oil of any economic sector. And what does it use it for? To protect their oil. We need to follow the advice of George Washington and get rid of our standing military and use those people to build solar energy, wind power, public transportation and other renewable infrastructure. We need to stop giving foreign countries control of us by sending all of our money to by their oil. | |
| 234 | 7:33 pm PST, Jan 27 | Elissa Ruddy | Eugene | Oregon | I do not support the killing of innocent civilians, a military occupation of another country or the lies that have been involved in making it happen. It is fueling strife among the people of iraq and elevating hatred for Americans. The money used for the occupation could be used to support the building of peace and government between the factions of Iraq. | |

| 212 | 8:07 pm PDT, Oct 25 | Ms. | Caroline Zaworski | Corvallis | Oregon | Congress is elected to represent the people, not to blindly follow a blind leader. The people continue to speak loudly; use your power for justice, and stop paying for an illegal war. |
| 211 | 7:04 pm PDT, Oct 25 | roberta hall | corvallis | Oregon | The only KNOWN way Congress has an impact on a war or occupation already underway is through "the power of the purse"---the people---many, many people---want Congress to use it and stop this war. | |
| 210 | 6:22 pm PDT, Oct 25 | Leah Bolger | Corvallis | Oregon | Congress doesn't have to 'pass' anything to stop this war. They just have to stop approving the money to continue it. STOP IGNORING US! Listen to the American people and end this grotesque waste of lives and dollars. | |

| 204 | 2:07 pm PDT, Oct 25 | Ms. | Lee Lawton | Philomath | Oregon | Trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives lost to war. We can do better than this! |
| 203 | 12:45 pm PDT, Oct 25 | Ann Meadowbrook | Lebanon | Oregon | We are sacrificing ourselves in so many ways with this war, which has no possible positive outcome for anyone. How many families and individuals must suffer the loss of a loved one, or the emotional loss of one who returns home with major physical and psychological scars? How many people must return home with torturous post-traumatic stress disorders before we decide to stop funding this madness? | |
| 202 | 12:28 pm PDT, Oct 25 | Charles B. Miller | Corvallis | Oregon | The only power Congress has over the war making insanity of the present administration is to cut their budget. There is already enough money appropriated to bring the troops home. Not a penny more. Once the troops are home, massively cut the funding for militarism in this country. We could also use a Congressional resolution explicitly forbidding military action against Iran. | |
