A public appeal urges transparent accounting of 18 months of wartime appropriations totaling 67.56 billion dollars and per-person obligations of 512 dollars, plus projected 6 to 10 billion more. It calls for inventories of planes and tanks, insists on factual cost data, and warns voters to demand accountable representatives.
