Shock and awe have taken on a whole new meaning as we watch the carnage
in Iraq. The images can be overwhelming. And it is exactly that fog of
war that the folks in Washington are using for cover to further their
destructive agenda. This week the Senate will face President Bush's first
request for money to pay for his war. Early media reports tell us that
the figure will top $75 billion. At the same time the Senate is being
asked to approve enormous tax cuts, mainly for the millionaire class.
Because the cost of guns is so great, the United States government has
never cut taxes during wartime fearing too great a sacrifice of butter.
But that is just what the Senate is poised to do quickly and with little
public debate because they can't defend it in the light of day

Two years ago when America enjoyed record surpluses the folks in
Washington told us that even then we didn't have enough money to give
every kid health insurance, fully fund Head Start or get serious about
the poverty of children around the world. Now, as we face record deficits
and a huge war bill they are telling us we still don't have money for
those things, but they have found more than twice that sum to use for tax
cuts for millionaires. Well, I know a whole bunch of millionaires and
trust me, they don't need the money half as badly as a kid who can't
afford to see a doctor when he's sick.

Millions of us came together in historic opposition to this war, now
let's stay together to limit the damage it will cause. Click Reply and
we'll send a fax to your Senators asking them not to pass the first
budget in American history to cut taxes during wartime. If you want to
