MoveOn Members say: "Support Our Troops, Bring Them Home" and ask "How Many More?"

On Wednesday evening, MoveOn members will hold more than 1,200 vigils across the country to mourn the 2,000 American soldiers who have died in Iraq.

People will gather at candle light vigils holding signs that read: "How Many More?" and "Support Our Troops. Bring Them Home."

At this sad moment, people across the country are reflecting on the war in Iraq. "How many more soldiers do we have to lose before we have an exit strategy with a timeline that starts now?" said Tom Matzzie, Washington Director of MoveOn.org Political Action.

MoveOn.org Political Action will also run a new television ad this week that pays respects to the 2,000 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and the more than 15,000 who have been seriously injured.
