Alan Grayson tells about Congresswoman Nita Lowey saying NO to more funds for war

I just learned that the key Congresswoman in charge of funding aid to Afghanistan - Nita Lowey - has stood up and said no.

Chairwoman Lowey just stopped $3.9 billion of funding for Afghanistan until she has "confidence that U.S. taxpayer money is not being abused to line the pockets of corrupt Afghan government officials, drug lords and terrorists."

This is how Americans ended the war in Vietnam - by ending the willingness of Congress to fund it.

We're making progress towards peace.

Let's keep it going at http://www.congressmanwithguts.com.

Let's show that the right thing to do is the smart thing to do. Tonight is the end of our peace party - so let's make a statement.

4356 of us have given so far. $114,765 raised.

More and more independent thinking on the war.

People are taking notice.

Courage,

Alan Grayson
