War waste: No more, Senator Smith!

We go tomorrow, May 16, 11 a.m., to Senator Smith's office to tell him that his war is immoral, criminal, and that the only acceptable course of action is to promise to never vote another nickel for this bloody occupation.

More than one million Iraqis have died as a result of our invasion and occupation.

More than 4,100 American troops have been killed in Iraq since Senator Smith voted to approve Shock and Awe.

We've wasted $562 billion on this criminal adventure. The final price tag, once we've paid for the long-term care of the tens of thousands of Americans wounded physically and psychologically, will be at least $3 trillion. We will never pay it in full.

The price of gasoline has tripled and oil companies have achieved more net profits than any corporations ever in human history.

Now Congress is contemplating another $163 billion. This comes from your wages. Your salary. Your taxes.

We will be at his Portland office tomorrow, May 16, to insist that he vote against more funding for this criminal enterprise.
