Alert: Call-in to vote down war funding

We’re forwarding this at the request of United for Peace with Justice; AfD is a member group:
Last month the House of Representatives turned down a bill to fund an additional $162.5 billion to continue the war and occupation in Iraq until next summer. Because the Senate approved funding, the House will be voting on this request again, as early as this Friday, June 6.

Should the House pass funding for the war and occupation of Iraq to last well into the next president's term? We say NO! Please call and tell your Representative to stop funding the war and occupation, and stop tying benefits for GIs to another year of war. Let's remind our reps that our vote in November will depend on their votes now. For additional background, please visit www.unitedforpeace.org/congress.
