During a recent meeting of a Feingold campaign steering committee, a representative of the Senator requested that we spread the word about the his efforts to move meaningful legislation forward. Here are a couple releases by the Senator regard the legislation he has introduced.

“By passing my legislation, Congress can respond to the will of the American people and force the President to safely bring our forces out of Iraq,” Feingold said. “With the President set on pursuing his failed policies in Iraq, Congress has the duty to stand up and use its power to stop him. If Congress doesn’t stop this war, it’s not because it doesn’t have the power -- it’s because it doesn’t have the will.”

Feingold’s bill is the latest effort in his long record of opposing the President’s flawed Iraq policy. In August 2005, Feingold, who opposed the authorization to use force in Iraq, became the first Senator to propose a timeline to bring an end to U.S. involvement in Iraq. Yesterday, Feingold chaired a full Judiciary Committee hearing where a diverse panel of constitutional scholars testified that Congress does indeed have the power to end a war.

“From the beginning, this war has been a mistake, and the policies that have carried it out have been a failure,” Feingold said. “Congress must not allow the President to continue a war that has already come at such a terrible cost. We have the constitutional authority and the moral responsibility to end our involvement in Iraq so we can refocus on those who attacked us on 9/11.”

You might ask what can we do ... Well, the Senator wants help in build a grass roots movement to support his bill. You can do that by signing his petition at http://ga1.org/campaign/iraq0107 and spreading the word. Talk to your friends and neighbors and I know this is a bit tacky but please recommend this thread to get it some net time.
