$87 billion...no way! E-mail your senators and rep now!!!
Enough is enough. $87 billion for Bush's li of a war, as we are floundering here at home...no child left behind mess, unemployment, failing infrastructure, attacks on our civil liberties, lies, lies and more lies, a massive deficit that keeps growing...The time for change is now. The Republicans have got another thing coming. The voter backlash under way is of a magnitude never before seen. I believe that Repukes are going to be voted out of office en masse, given their blind faith in this absoluter failure of an adimistration. Forget about letting all those billions go overseas. The rest of the world has basically told us, its your mess, you clean it up. Why don't we get all those millionaires that got the massive taxbreaks to pay for it? This American has had more than enough. Bush might get some of this money, but he will pay for it. With is job!
The situation is so obvious that even my four year old triplets are saying " George Bush needs a new job!"

Please contact your senators and Representatives and tell them how your really feel. I just unloaded on Senator Corzine and Senator Lautenberg. They will read my message loud and clear.

1. Agreed
Edited on Mon Sep-08-03 09:32 AM by MrBenchley
Here's what I wrote:

"Not a penny more on this ill-conceived and dishonest adventure in Iraq! Not another drop of American blood on the most shameful adventure in American history. Our national credibility and prestige is in tatters.

We have no plan that can be discussed out loud, and we have made the world less safe, not more so.

$87 billion could be used on a jobs program here that could hire more than 2.1 million workers at $40,000 a year to build and revamp public schools, rebuild America's crumbling infrastructure, etc.

Impeach this unelected fool. Let Iraq use its own oil revenue to rebuild itself."

Sent it to Lautenberg and Corzine as well as to my idiot congressman Sccott Garrett...

3. Senators are cowards to stand up for America and not Bush!
A Dem Congressman this morning on CNN: "I think the president was right, we need to see this thing thru no matter what the cost."

Well gee thanks for standing up for America Mr. Congressman. The media calls you chicken and affraid to stand aginst Bush and you proved them right one more time. We need REAL leaders and not those just going thru the motions!!!!!

Bush should be asking the profiteers of this fiasco to ante up some of the tax refunds they just got.
