It's been two years now since the war in Iraq began. At this writing the cost is $156,200,000,000 of American tax dollars, and rising. To see more details, visit http://costofwar.com/ In the next few weeks Congress is going to be asked to cough up another $82,000,000,000 (82 billion) to continue the occupation. Find out how this administration's budget affects your community, education, health care, world hunger, AIDs, etc. Visit http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar/index.html and speak up for peace. We know how forceful media spin can be, and we know what controls the media. A vocal America is a healthy America.

UPDATE! THANK YOU everyone who donated to the PeaceThings' Cyber Team for UNICEF Tsunami Crisis Relief. We have exceeded our goal, and with checks and donations raised $1,472.30. Our online total doesn't show this because it seems processing checks takes a long time. But the checks have been sent.
