While I understand that there are greater costs to the War in Iraq than monetary amounts can show, it is one valid measure. It has been said that budgets reflect our priorities.

In my town, our annual school budget is $55 million and our share of the cost of the war in Iraq is $87 million (about 1.5 times the school budget).

We all know that not everybody wants to think about the war in terms of human suffering. Many have grown spiritually numb to any number of dead "enemies." My hope is that this financial accounting is just another perspective that can be used to crack the wall of apathy in the world out there. Perhaps it will motivate some people to do "one more thing" to stop the madness. Perhaps it can help shake another person out of complacency and complicity.

The bottom of each flyers shows the calculation including the key census data used to perform the allocations (State share of Federal Tax Revenues, town median household income, number of households in town).

It is my hope that these will be distributed around the state. With an earlier version (when the cost was much lower), I stood outside the polling place for our town budget referendum and handed out a few hundred copies.

Go forth and speak out!
