What will Congress vote on?

$93 Billion MORE for the Bush-Cheney War?

The House Appropriations Committee is about to vote on whether to give Bush and Cheney $93 billion more for the Iraq War, on top of the $363 billion they have already spent to create a historic catastrophe based entirely on lies that has increased global terrorism by 700%.

This will bring total war spending to $456 billion - every penny of which has been borrowed so our children and grandchildren will have to pay for the Bush-Cheney War. It has also cost the lives of 3,171 U.S. troops and an estimated 655,000 Iraqi civilians, many tortured to death by militia trained by the U.S.

Make plans now to join veterans, military families, and responsible citizens in a nonviolent march for peace and impeachment, beginning at the Vietnam War Memorial and ending at the Pentagon. http://www.marchonpentagon.org
