Hi (Your Friend's Name),
I’ve just written to ask my representative to vote against a proposal to provide more than $160 billion in new money for the administration's failed war strategy in Iraq.
With the November elections approaching, this could be the last binding vote on the Iraq war in 2008. You can use the Friends Committee on National Legislation website to write your representative today. Urge her or him not to vote more money for the president's failed war strategy in Iraq.
Here's a good resource to find out more about funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Your Name
