CREDO Action: Tell Congress: No More Funding for War in Iraq!
"Will Easton, CREDO Action from Working Assets"
Subject: Tell Congress: No More Funding for War in Iraq!
CREDO Action: Tools for Change from Working Assets

Invest in America, Not War in Iraq
No More $$$ For Iraq Occupation
Sign our petition calling for funding to be provided by Congress only to bring our troops home and not to continue the occupation of Iraq.

President Bush has again requested "emergency" funding to continue the occupation of Iraq. He has asked Congress to appropriate more than one hundred billion dollars for fiscal year 2008 to pay for continuing the military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

By pressuring Congress to provide billions of dollars in "emergency" war funding each year, President Bush has tried to hide the true cost of the Iraq occupation by not including it in the Pentagon's operating budget. After five years and five hundred billion dollars sunk into this invasion and occupation, our elected officials should stand up and say "no more."

Representative John Murtha, chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, will head up the committee that writes the legislation for Bush's latest funding request. Rather than giving the administration another blank check, the committee should provide funding only for a responsible and timely redeployment of our troops out of Iraq.

Click here to sign the petition urging Rep. Murtha to provide funding to end the occupation of Iraq, not to continue it. http://act.credomobile.com/campaign/cut_war_funding/

Former Congressman Tom Andrews and members of the Win Without War coalition will deliver your signatures to Congressman Murtha in person before the "emergency" supplemental appropriations bill is written. We need to show Rep. Murtha, and the rest of his committee, that the majority of Americans do not want any more blood or treasure to be wasted upon the failed occupation of Iraq. The United States is in a recession and Iraq is in chaos; it is clearly time to change course.

Sign the petition asking Congressman Murtha to provide funding for diplomacy, not war.

With our economy in tatters and our military stretched to the limit, our government should bring our troops home and focus its resources on creating positive changes -- both at home and in Iraq -- rather than on continuing an endless war.

Thank you for working to build a better world.
