Dear Friends,

This Thursday, March 10, 2005, the House Appropriations Committee will vote on President Bush’s proposed supplemental increaseof eighty billion dollars ($80,000,000,000.00) for theIraq war. This is in addition to the 160 billion ($160,000,000,000.00) already misspent and wasted.

Please ask your friends, family, co-workers, and allies to write their Congress members immediatelyurging them to vote AGAINST the Bush plan. It is easy to do, free, and very effective!! Demand that any new funds approved be allocated solely for troop withdrawal and interim troop protection.

Go to http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/alert/?alertid=7157066&type=TA.

In addition, please ask your Congresspeople to support amendments to the appropriations bill that call for an end to the occupation and support for Iraqi sovereignty, such as Representative Lynn Woolsey's (D-CA) House Resolution ( H.Con.Res.35 ) to End the US Occupation of Iraq. http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=7071606

Also, Thursday will be a National Call-in Day for this issue. Please contact your Congress members at their local district offices. Our Representatives and Senators need to hear from the grassroots NOW !
