An amendment by Senator Leahy and cosponsored by Senator Boxer was adopted unanimously by the Senate and will add another $10 million to the program Senator Leahy created with Marla's help ($20 million has already been allocated). Before this amendment can become a law, the House of Representatives must agree.

You can help Marla’s legacy live on by urging your representative to approve the MARLA RUZICKA IRAQI WAR VICTIMS FUND amendment that would allow an additional $10 million for Iraqi victims.

It’s Easy! Here’s how:

• Go to Connect to Congress
