I don't agree with this and I don't believe I'm alone. Why aren't the Dems focusing on a roadmap out of Iraq? Asking for 40,000 more troops will guarantee a draft. Can someone explain how this became a top 10 legislative priority without asking Democrats?

Last paragraph:
The Democrats' top 10 list includes: allowing prescription drugs to be imported; creating national standards for federal elections; restoring overtime pay benefits to workers who lost them under a 2004 labor rules change; adding as many as 40,000 military troops by 2007; improving veterans' benefits; increasing Pell Grants and other college tuition subsidies; and increasing access to family planning services and insurance coverage of birth control products.
