Things to remember before we let Bush go:
· 85,141 – 92,871 innocence dead due to Iraq War
· 4119 American Troops left dead in Iraq
· The Executive Branch made 935 false claims about Iraq in order to sell the war.
· Halliburton, the company the current Vice President used to be the CEO of, has made over $10.8 billion from the war; supplying oil, rebuilding materials, and weapons, as well as jobs that used to belong to the troops.
· 1.9–2.2 million Americans will file bankruptcy due to Medical Bills
· 460 innocent people are currently being held at Guantanamo Bay prison and experience torture every day. There have been 41 suicide attempts. Only one person who was ever held at Guantanamo has been charged with a crime. There are still 4 kids under the age of 18 being held there.
As you sit in your comfortable home safe in the United States, just remember the thousands of crying children who can’t understand why their daddies aren’t coming home from Iraq. You need to think about the people in this country who are choosing between clothes for their kids, food, or gas money. Think about the people at Guantanamo who only wish to see their families again. This isn’t just politics, this is reality. I know it’s easy to ignore all of this, but people are dying needlessly right now, and loosing their homes. You have the power to act. Don’t ignore this anymore. Do something.
