Tell congress to grow a pair!! Every DU'er needs to sign it!!
Fund a Prompt Withdrawal - Not One More Dollar for War

With Congress back in Washington, Bush is putting enormous pressure on Democrats to surrender to his will on Iraq. So far, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have stood up strongly to Bush's pressure - and polls show the American people are on our side, with 67% of Americans favoring a Congressional funding cutoff.

So when Senators and Representatives meet in conference committee this week to hammer out differences between the two versions of the $93 billion Supplemental Appropriations bills for Iraq, we want them to strengthen the bill, not weaken it.

The bill they send to Bush must include three key items from the Senate version:

1. begin the troop withdrawal 120 days from passage of the bill

2. end the war in March 2008

3. do NOT support an oil law for Iraq that puts foreign oil company profits (especially production-sharing agreements) ahead of the needs of the Iraqi people

1. K & R. Though, sadly, since it's not about Imus or Anna's Baby
this thread will sink like a rock.

Prove me wrong, DUers, prove me wrong!

9. I was thinking the same thing..... that we are defining 'courage'...

... and dependent on ' a pair'. This isn't a complaint just a friendly observation.

I wonder if we could come up with a more unisex phrase for 'grow a pair'.
