Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) is a group of men and women who have served or continue to serve in the U.S. military since September 11th, 2001. We are calling for:

• Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces from Iraq; and
• Reparations for the human and structural damages Iraq has suffered; and
• Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other support for returning servicemen and women. 

IVAW welcomes all post-9/11 veterans and active duty servicemen and women from all branches of military service, National Guard members, and reservists who support this mission to join our ranks.

Thank you for making it real, Bonilla.

as much as i like to agree that the war should end, you cant blame obama for it, i am not into politics you talk politics to me and its like teaching a blonde to drive while she texts and listens to Justin Timberlakes new CD, but Obama stepped into a mess that's hes trying to clean i agree some of his promises are taking longer then expected but hes trying, who we need to impeach is California governor the budgetnator he screwed up California's economy i didn't knew it was in he billions i read today its at 7.2 billion. and then reading about a soldier pretending to be a vet and stuff that just ashamed me some of us earned our medals some of us didn't think we deserve them but this douche needs to definitely be sent to Iraq to really learn how and why sometimes earning a purple heart is not a good thing.

CA was in trouble way before the Butcher of Bakersfield got elected.  PG&E did a good number on the state not long ago.  The housing bubble didn't help either.  CA also has wy too many programs to support during this complex economic crisis.  Someone is going to have to make the tough decision and make the cuts. I think that's why he's trying to do while appeasing Democrats.
