DEMAND AN END

• Too many deaths – almost 4,000 US troops, over half a million Iraqis, 6,256 US troops committed suicide in 2005.
• Too many wounded – 28,000 US troops seriously wounded
• Too many homeless – 4,500,000 Iraqi’s displaced
• Too many dollars wasted – total war costs are projected to be between

$ 3,000,000,000,000 and seven trillion dollars assuming we get out with in the next six years, $ 500,000 per minute

• Too much military overreach – imperial hubris a common but tragic flaw scene repeatedly in the downfall of nations.
• Too little political responsiveness – for years polls have shown US citizens want to end the Iraqi Occupation
• Too little activism – need for more and louder anti-war voices.
• Had we listened to Senator Byrd we could have avoided putting our grand kids in debt and spent our tax money on health care, education, ending poverty, sustainable energy, and infrastructure.

See you on Tuesday, March 18th , 5:15 pm at the State Capital; bring your friends to stop this endless, unnecessary, and immoral war.
