Subject:   Let the Democratic Congress Hear Your Outrage Name:   Democracy Rising Date Posted:   May 23, 07 - 3:37 PM Website:   http://democracyrising.us/ Message:   From Democracy Rising & UFPJ-Legislative Action Network "Let them hear your outrage!" The Democratic leadeship has shamed themselves. Instead of standing up for us, they are bowing to pressure from Bush. He will get full funding for his war, including the escalation of troops -- unless the rank and file members of Congress vote this outrage down,.. The vote in the House could come as early as today. Although they have heard from us over and over again -- we owe it to ourselves, our troops and the Iraqi people to make sure they hear from this before they make this vote. Below is a draft alert you can use to alert everyone you know! I've also sent you two articles on the supplemental and the background politics -- below this alert ********************* Call your Senators and Rep. Now - Congress will vote at any time in the next 48 hours to give Bush a blank check to pay for continued war and occupation 202-224-3121 *tell them:* *Vote NO on the war funding bill to continue and expand the war and occupation of Iraq.* * * *ask them*: *How many more fallen soldiers will we have to mourn next Memorial Day?* Congress is getting ready to vote on another $95 billion for the war in Iraq. It sure looks like the Democratic Congress has decided to buy Bush's war and make it their own. Instead of holding the Bush administration accountable for their failed policy in Iraq, Congress is choosing to blame the country we invaded and continue to occupy. That's right -- the Iraqi government needs to pass the laws we want them to pass in order to prove to us that they are a democracy -- or we will withhold funding for reconstruction (to rebuild the country our bombs and policies destroyed). That's the way the Congress has decided to hold Bush accountable. After months of promising us a change in Iraq, promising us they will hold Bush accountable, promising they will not give Bush a blank check -- the democratic leadership has caved in to Bush -- instead of standing up for us. They are writing him a check for $95 billion to continue and EXPAND the war. That surge they all claimed they don't like -- the money for it is right here! Make your calls today, and ask 5 friends to call their members of Congress also. Thank you.
