Our message is simple:

Vote NO on any more funding for continuing U.S. military operations in Iraq.

End the war!

Now is the time to end the U.S. occupation of Iraq.

Bring the troops home now!


Don’t be fooled by talk of adding language to the spending bill that calls for troop withdrawal in 2009.

Don’t be fooled by talk of adding “sweeteners” to the spending bill like unemployment assistance or veterans benefits.

The best way to support the troops is to bring them home ALIVE and INTACT NOW!

The only effective way to end the war and bring the troops home is to STOP FUNDING WAR and OCCUPATION NOW!


Thank you to the many who called their Representative and Pelosi and Murtha’s offices, a week-and-a-half ago.

Now it is critically important that we encourage everyone we know to call their U.S. Representative on Wednesday to tell them to …

Vote NO on any more Iraq War funding.

Thank you!
