Bush's closes backers in Congress Your Voting Guide
Dear Greenbriar,

By now most people agree: George W. Bush's presidency was a devastating failure.

But Bush couldn't have done it alone. He got lots of help from his Republican yes-men and women in Congress -- and today I want to make sure you know exactly who they are.

Take a look at our list of Bush's closest backers in Congress, and forward this email to at least five of your friends so they know who's really to blame.

% of Votes with Bush
Rep. John Boehner (OH) 94%
Sen. Michael Enzi (WY) 93%
Sen. Mitch McConnell (KY) 92%
Sen. John Cornyn (TX) 92%
Rep. Roy Blunt (MO) 91%
Sen. Thad Cochran (MS) 91%
Sen. James Inhofe (OK) 91%
Rep. John Shadegg (AZ) 90%
Sen. John McCain (AZ) 90%
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (GA) 90%
Rep. Mike Pence (IN) 90%
Sen. John Sununu (NH) 89%
Sen. Lamar Alexander (TN) 89%
Sen. Pat Roberts (KS) 89%
Rep. Tom Feeney (FL) 88%

With President Bush's approval rating hitting a stunning new low of 22 percent last week, these members of Congress have been leaving human-shaped holes in the wall of the Capitol as they desperately try to run away from the President.

But they can't run away from their records. They can't run away from their irresponsible handling of the economy, their blind support for the mismanaged war in Iraq, or their repeated attempts to privatize Social Security.

We won't let them. We launched the Bush Legacy Tour to help make that point, but today we need you to spread the word simply by forwarding this message to at least five of your friends. Make sure everyone you know remembers who's to blame for the state of our nation.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Funk
Americans United for Change

P.S. Forward this message to five of your friends today!
