Audit in Iraq by creating a Truman Commission (cong.Louise Slaugter)
please sign the petition


Dear Friend,

To date $9 billions dollars (and counting) have disappeared or been wasted in Iraq while Republicans in Congress have done nothing to get to the bottom of this horrible situation.

I am Demanding that Congress join Congresswoman Louise Slaughter's call for an Audit in Iraq by creating a Truman Commission that would monitor and investigate every penny being spent there.

With your help, we can finally bring accountability to Iraq. Please join me by signing the petition at:

3. Thanks, this is another issue the press and public has forgotten
It is not chump change.

The Truman Commission for those that do not know

During World War II, Harry Truman established what became known as the Truman Commission. The Commission consisted of a group of dedicated public servants who were committed to examining all financial and military transactions related to the war effort. Their work served to expose and eliminate any waste, mismanagement, or corruption which could have detracted from the effectiveness of Allied troops. The accountability and efficiency which they helped to create and defend was pivotal to winning the war.

6. THANKS!
Thanks for posting this... what an important issue. She posted on DailyKos that 2000 people have signed the petition. Wouldn't it be great if we could get that number up a bit?
