Urge Move On To Oppose the Iraq Supplemental Funding Bill
As always, I speak for me only
Conchita points us to this e-mail from Move On:
Dear MoveOn member,We've got a big decision coming up this week, and we need to make it together, as a community.
As early as Wednesday, the House may vote on a Democratic proposal on Iraq. The proposal was put together by Speaker Pelosi and Congressmen Obey and Murtha. It is going to be a close vote--the Republicans are against it and some conservative Democrats are uncomfortable with the bill.
Most, but not all, of the progressives in Congress are planning on voting for the bill. These progressives, like many of us, don't think the bill goes far enough, but see it as the first concrete step to ending the war. And President Bush is threatening to veto it for the same reason.
I've told Rep. Murtha that this was a decision for MoveOn's members to make. Now I'm asking you to help make it. Should we support or oppose the Democrats' plan? Just click here to register your view.
I urge Move On members to register their view that the supplemental funding bill should be opposed.
