Rep. Lofgren Issues Statement on War Supplemental

May 14, 2009

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) issued the following statement on her vote against the FY 2009 Supplemental Appropriations bill.

When President Bush asked for war funding without a commitment to end the war in Iraq, I voted no. I voted for President Obama and admire him, but a change in administration without a change in plan is not enough.
