Write your representative tonight about the $87 billion
Edited on Sun Sep-07-03 09:05 PM by markses
It is unacceptable. We need a groundswell of pressure right now to demonstrate that the numbers and justification laid out by Mr. Bush tonight simply will not do. This is especially true if you live in a conservative district.

ENOUGH!

1. to add insult to injury: Show me the money!!!!
where's all this money gone???? If we are spending a billion/week and are gonna spend more, someone should be doing well!!! Like shouldn't Detroit and the mid-west be booming? How about all those defense plants in Southern California?

How about Dallas? That's where they are letting out the Iraq reconstruction contracts! But Dallas downtown is empty store fronts...

At least, with Reagun there was a little trickle down to the little people.

2. Done
I just emailed Peter Fitzgerald, my Republican senator. In all his talk of WMD's, I don't recall him mentioning 100,000,000,000+ for Iraq.
