Want to save lives AND battle the Bush Administration? Tell Congress to support Iraqi Refugees.

Edited on Fri Sep-21-07 02:08 PM by ck4829

The Bush Administration and other countries that were involved in the lead up to the war want to pretend that these people don't exist!

Some countries are taking them in, but they are very stressed, and some are being forced to turn them back, the UN itself is struggling to find the funds to meet their health and nutritional needs.

These people DO exist and their numbers ARE growing, by the day in fact.

It's time to urge Congress to focus on them, maybe even create a special commission dedicated to them and their plight.
