Progressive Democrats: ''Not Too Late to Act on $80 billion for Iraq

"The anti-war movement within the Democratic Party is alive! Yesterday alone, over 5,000 PDA activists and friends contacted their Representative to oppose the $80 billion appropriation request for the continued occupation of Iraq! The feedback has been tremendous:'I told Congressman Dick's receptionist our son had just returned home last week from Iraq with the WA National Guard and had received a Bronze Star. We told her to tell Cong. Dicks to vote against the $80B supplement and to end the occupation and to bring the rest of our troops home safely now. She replied: "Amen."Need more inspiration? Read more activist reports here, If you haven't called yet, it's still NOT TOO LATE! The appropriations bill comes to the floor of the House for a vote this coming Tuesday. We must continue to pressure our Representatives right up to the vote. Once this vote is completed, we need to switch our attention to the Senate, which will make its decision in April. And remember, while we may not win on this vote now, we're building the peace movement inside and outside of the Democratic Party. Your action now will inspire others. We're building strength and credibility. Your action is an important investment in our future. Go here and follow our two action alerts on the war. Continue calling via the No More Funds for Iraq War! Alert, and then e-mail your Representative and demand support for Rep. Lynn Woolsey's Resolution, which calls for the development and implementation of a plan to begin the immediate withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and to provide the Iraqi people the opportunity to take charge of their country's reconstruction."-from the Progressive Democrats of America.
