Sign Petition for Bill to End Funding of The War


We have just endorsed a resolution in Congress to cut the funds for the Iraq War. We hope you will join us in signing the linked petition from Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) supporting HR 4232:

Democrats.com has been working with PDA organizing support for HR 4232 since Rep. McGovern introduced this important bill in November of 2005.

Congress has appropriated more than $300 billion for U.S. military operations in Iraq. Simply stated in monetary terms, we are spending $8 billion per month in Iraq with no end in sight. That's $2 billion per week, or $267 million per day, or $11 million per hour.

Small wonder that 60% of the American people are opposed to current U.S. policy in Iraq.

Democrats.com is working hard to change this failed policy.

Please sign the petition and vote for candidates in the November general election who support HR 4232 and will speak out to cut off all funding for deployment of US troops in Iraq and for the removal of all funding for the occupation of Iraq.

H.R. 4232 would end all funding for the deployment of U.S. troops in Iraq.

HR 4232 would in no way prohibit nor interrupt U.S. non-defense funding in support of Iraq's social and economic reconstruction, including support for democratic institution-building, elections, and the restoration of Iraq's infrastructure.

HR 4232 provides for the safe, orderly, and honorable withdrawal of the United States from military operations in Iraq. By continuing U.S. support for the economic and social reconstruction of Iraqi society and the financial and material needs of Iraqi security, it maintains our moral and political obligations to the Iraqi people, while concretely promoting, supporting, and providing for greater multilateral engagement in these serious tasks.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope you will sign the petition!

In peace,
