A big decision on Iraq?

Written by: Charles in Montana on Mar 18, 2007 5:12 PM EDT

Dear MoveOn member,

We've got a big decision coming up this week, and we need to make it together, as a community.

As early as Wednesday, the House may vote on a Democratic proposal on Iraq. The proposal was put together by Speaker Pelosi and Congressmen Obey and Murtha. It is going to be a close vote—the Republicans are against it and some conservative Democrats are uncomfortable with the bill.

Most, but not all, of the progressives in Congress are planning on voting for the bill. These progressives, like many of us, don't think the bill goes far enough, but see it as the first concrete step to ending the war. And President Bush is threatening to veto it for the same reason.

I've told Rep. Murtha that this was a decision for MoveOn's members to make. Now I'm asking you to help make it. Should we support or oppose the Democrats' plan? Just click here to register your view:

What is your opinion? I would like to hear from all you DFAers.

Charles

The question I have is whether they are trying to get the Queen bee to veto funding for the war. Personally, I don't like strategies aimed at forcing someone to do something negative.

The public wants the war ended now, not after another 1000 Soldiers die.

Why are we supporting Democrats who have adopted the Republican War?  Democrats voted agaisnt the war resolution, they need to vote against the war resources.  Cut off the money and the corporations will cut off the war.  No profits, no war!
