More than $200 billion has been spent to fund this war.

Please end the war now by using the power given to you under the Constitution: Stop the funding, close all U.S. military bases in Iraq, and bring the troops home. It is time to end the destruction, and rebuild war-torn Iraq - and hurrican-ravaged communities in the U.S.
