Rep. Lofgren Votes Against Iraq Funding

Press Release

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) issued the following statement in response to her vote against continued funding for the war in Iraq.

I cannot in good conscience vote to give the President another blank check for the war in Iraq. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee has estimated that if the President's request is approved, the full economic cost of the war will total nearly $1.3 trillion by the end of 2008. I cannot, and will not, support such reckless spending without even a plan or goal for a conclusion.
