Here are the Nays from the House MoveOn vote today and a great speech from Tom Allen (D-ME)

[cali]

(both from 'kos) First what Tom Allen (who's running against S.Collins for Senate) had to say:

"I respect General Petraeus and honor all of our troops. They have done a phenomenal job and done everything that we have asked of them. General Petraeus is a soldier who simply takes orders from the Commander-in-Chief, President Bush.

Unfortunately the President and his Republican allies in Congress have continued to order General Petraeus and the rest of our troops to continue fighting. What we need is a plan to bring our troops home.

I voted against this resolution today because I believe it is the job of the Congress to bring our troops home, not legislate free speech."

And the nays. There were too many yeas to reasonably paste.

1. Perfect! I hope Tom Allen WINS!

That would be a WIN for all of us! Come On, Maine, whata say!?

4. Me too!

That's my number 1 Senate race. Number two being Udall in CO. Really, really like Allen, love the speech. I only wish my Rep (Welch) had a clue.

7. I don't see my new Democratic

Congressman Arcuri on the Nays so I guess he went with the Condemnation.
