Make Peace for Iraq A Priority

During the August Congressional recess (August 8 - September 6, 2008) and throughout the election season:

Stay up to date and engaged with the campaign with the Campaign Updates.
After spending hundreds of billions of dollars for devastating war and military occupation in Iraq, the U.S. Congress, on June 26, 2008, approved an astonishing $161.8 billion to continue the occupation of Iraq into the next presidential administration!
While the “Defund the War” struggle is over for this year, our work in 2008 is far from over!
The Declaration of Peace calls on everyone to recommit, regroup, and redouble our efforts to move U.S. policy-makers to bring U.S. troops and contractors out of Iraq and to work for Peace in Iraq.
