It is time to leave IRAQ! Each day in Iraq costs too much – the cost is human lives.
To date, approximately 90,000 Iraqi civilians have died from violence with some reports of 1,200,000 Iraqi deaths due to the U.S. invasion over 4000 US military deaths to date.
The costs of this war are quickly approaching 5 Billion dollars, which comes to $720,000,000 a day. There are countless other, better ways this money could be spent.
Staying in Iraq is not an option. Current US policy in Iraq is bad for the US and bad for the Iraqis. It is about time we leave.

Judith Bridger replied on Jun 20, 2008Congratulations peace friends of Lansing! We are well on our way to funding the Sept Billboards. Funds from around the city have been coming in by mail. You will notice that I just posted an additional $714.00
Thank you so very much. It is vital that we shake the bushes, and rattle the bones to bring awareness of the outrageous madness of King George!
We have just a few $$$ to go before we begin on the next round of our Media Campaign. Our goal is a solid stream of visibility up to the election and beyond.
If you are reading this for the first time. Hope you can contribute or know someone who is. Peace&lovjudith, treasurer of glnawi

How the $1138.50 is spent
The package of 5 billboards around Lansing cost $1100. The $38.50 is to cover credit card processing fees. These billboards will be up for one month, but as soon as this campaign tips, we will relaunch a new one for another month. Everytime we reach $1138.50 another set of billboards will go up. we gave currently paid for october and mid-may to mid-june. we will start with september, working backward from the time of the election.
This campaign was created with the help of:
GLNAWI , Peaceroots , American Friends Service Committee , United for Peace & Justice
