Forty-six congressional candidates and 17 activist organizations released a statement on Monday opposing any more funding for the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq, and inviting more candidates, incumbents, and
organizations to sign on. The 46 candidates include 16 Libertarians, 15
Democrats, 14 Greens, and 1 Independent. They do not all agree with
each other on many topics, including their reasons for opposing war
spending. But they all back this short statement:

"The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost Americans over $1 trillion in direct costs, and over $3 trillion altogether. At a time when our national
debt exceeds $13 trillion, we can no longer afford these wars. It's
time for Congress to reject any funding except to bring all our troops
safely home."

This announcement comes just as Congress is set to vote on whether to spend another $33.5 billion in an
off-the-books "emergency" supplemental spending bill to escalate a war
in Afghanistan that polls show a majority of Americans opposes.

When you call your congress member at (202) 224-3121 let them know that they can vote against another $33.5 billion to escalate the
war in Afghanistan, and vote against it no matter how many good things
are packaged into the same bill, or you will vote against them in
November.
