[haw-info] Call Congress Today! 100 Groups Support "No War Funding" Letter

[Hiscze at aol.com]

The House of Representatives is about to pass a $648.7 billion Defense  
Appropriations bill, perhaps as soon as this evening. Yesterday over 100  
national and grassroots groups signed a "No War Funding" letter to the  
Congressional Progressive Caucus. Historians Against War was pleased to endorse  this 
effort. Support for the letter reflects grass-roots outrage over the  
willingness of Congress to keep paying for the military, while slashing  vitally 
important domestic programs.

Now is the time to call all members of Congress.  Voting on the 2012 
Defense Appropriations bill could come as early as this  evening. This bill 
provides $648.7 for the military, including $118  billion for the Afghanistan and 
Iraq wars.
 
Capitol Switchboard:  202-225-3121
 
Tell your Representative to oppose further war funding  for Afghanistan and 
to vote against the entire 2012 Defense Appropriations  bill.  Message is 
simple: we must not continue wasting lives and  money. The United States  
cannot afford another $648.7 billion for the  military. Its time to bring our 
war dollars home!
 
Please forward this message widely.!!!
 
 
Carolyn Eisenberg on behalf of the Historians Against War Steering  
Committee.
