Ask Bernie Sanders To STOP THE WAR NOW!!!!
Edited on Mon Jan-08-07 10:17 PM by BayCityProgressive
Sanders is the first ever socialist elected to the senate. He is an independant so he doesn't have to kow tow to party leadership and being a socialist he obviously isn't taking big business lobbying money. I think he is our best shot to really push our anti-war cause in the senate. Everyoen contact bernie and demand an end to this genocide.

1. Feingold is doing it

From Century of the Common Iowan ...

Russ Feingold is going to introduce legislation tomorrow to establish a timeline to redeploy our troops from Iraq. Feingold would keep enough troops in Iraq to run counter-terrorism activities, training of Iraqi security forces, and the protection of U.S. infrastructure and personnel. Russ was the first senator to call for redeployment back in August of 2005 and co-sponsored a bill in July of last year that would have required troops to withdrawn from Iraq by July of 2007. Feingold says ...

The way to win a war against global terrorist networks is not by keeping over 140,000 brave American troops in Iraq indefinitely," Feingold said. "The President's failed, Iraq-centric policies are preventing us from effectively countering serious threats around the world. We must change course, and the 110th Congress can start now by passing this bill to redeploy our troops from Iraq.


After 9/11 the goal is to better protect America. Having 140,000 American troops bogged down in Iraq does not help accomplish that goal. Some might even say that the goal after 9/11 was to track down Osama bin Laden. Having 140,000 American troops bogged down in Iraq does not help accomplish that goal.

Instead, we must focus our efforts on serious national security threats. Iraq is diverting our resources from fighting terrorism in an effective manner, so we must focus our efforts to serious national security threats.

Feingold continues to lead on important issues by taking a principled stand. Will the new Democratic Congress stand with him?
