Have you Signed The Petition From Harry Reid?

[babsbunny]

The House of Representatives already voted 246-182.

Now it's the Senate's turn to send a message to George Bush that his plan to send tens of thousands more American soldiers to a civil war in Iraq is wrong. That is why I scheduled a rare Saturday vote. However, I just left the Senate floor where Republicans once again voted to block debate on the President's escalation plan.

Tens of thousands of you joined me two weeks ago and sent a message to Senate Republicans: Stop blocking debate on escalating the war in Iraq - let's have an up or down vote on the President's plan.

If you already signed this petition, please forward this email to ten of your friends or family and ask them to sign. If you haven't please sign right now by visiting:

Those who decided to block debate made a choice: instead of joining the American people in opposing more of the same in Iraq, they essentially gave the President a green light to escalate the war.

Most of the Republican minority voted to protect George Bush from an embarrassing vote because they are trying to divert attention from the issue at hand and tie the Senate in procedural knots. They are hiding behind weak and misleading arguments about the Senate's rules.

These arguments are diversions.

Tell Senate Republicans: Stop blocking debate on escalating the war in Iraq - let's have an up or down vote on the President's plan.

In the six weeks since the start of the 110th Congress, the Senate has accomplished so much. We passed sweeping ethics legislation. We passed a minimum wage increase. And we kept the government open for business by finishing up the appropriations process the 109th Congress failed to complete.

Compared to previous Congresses, it's an impressive record of achievement. But there's still one issue that demands the Senate's attention: the war in Iraq. We can't put this issue off any longer.

Thank you,

Harry Reid
