New 2008 War Deadline is Good
But Not Good Enough
Dear robin,
Tell Congress: vote against Iraq War funding
Americans who have suffered through four years of war in Iraq are reading in the news today that the House will finally vote on a bill to set a deadline for bringing our troops out of that war.1 That sounds good to a lot of wary people. Not us.
Here's the thing: we asked TrueMajority members what you wanted from Congress, and you said no more money for expanding the war, period. Despite some good things in this bill, it would still give the President nearly $100 Billion to keep sending troops. So we're offering you the opportunity to tell your member of Congress "Sorry, when we say end the war, we mean end the war. Please vote against the Iraq war funding bill next week."
http://action.truemajority.org/campaign/nosupplementalSome people working against the war say that incremental steps are necessary to bring about fundamental change. But the role of citizens is to make clear what we want from our government, and hold them to it. Now's the time to make it clear that we reject escalation and want the war to end. Plain and simple.
Tell your representative to oppose the war funding bill.

Here's the message we'll send to your representative:
I'm concerned about the Iraq funding bill that you will be voting on soon. Despite the good things this bill would do, it would still give the President nearly $100 Billion to keep sending troops. Americans are calling for an end to this war, not more funding for war. Please vote against the Iraq funding bill.
