Hi Lew,
When I first introduced legislation with Russ Feingold to set a deadline to end the open-ended policy of massive military presence in Iraq and bring our heroes home, I knew it would take a lot of work to get us to that point. And, as I've said to all of you before, we've made tremendous progress. Thanks to all of your work, we have a Democratic Congress that has passed legislation to challenge President Bush's failed policy in Iraq and put us on a new course.
But the Republicans are putting up a roadblock to our efforts, succumbing to White House pressure to back the President on this. And the President vetoed our efforts.
It's time for that to change. It's time to put the pressure on these Roadblock Republicans.
The Republicans are already showing signs of cracking. Many are running away from this President's disastrous policy. But that's not enough; we need to splinter the GOP on this one. To do that, we need to speak to them in a voice loud enough that they can't help but hear it, and we need to speak in the language any politician understands: grassroots pressure.
So we're launching a unique campaign to pressure the critical points in the GOP caucus. We are targeting a few key Senators for this message: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Senators Sununu, Collins, and Coleman. The last three are already top races for 2008, and Senator McConnell is the bulwark of the GOP leadership on this.
So go here to contribute to a fund run by our friends at ActBlue that will go to the eventual Democratic nominee in those states and then write an email message to those Senators explaining why you did this.
This is an extraordinary campaign; to my knowledge, nothing quite like this has ever been done. But this money can make all the difference in each of these races, and these Senators will know it. Senator McConnell is secure in his belief that no one will be able to raise the money to challenge him. We can show that he's wrong. The other Senators are already top targets in 2008, but they hope the power of incumbency and fundraising can save them. We can show them that the power of Washington won't stand against the power of the people.
We can raise the stakes for them and make the pressure they feel from the people greater than the pressure they feel from the White House. And when that happens, they just might help tell this President that his policy is a disaster and we must change course.
Let's clear the way for a new direction in Iraq -- let's insist on a policy that lives up to the sacrifice of our incredible troops.
Sincerely,
John Kerry |
Seeing him use words like "incredible," "heroes" and such directed at our Troops, the same ones he has no problem slandering, undermining, bashing and belittling, just sticks in my craw.
"End the war" is just a euphenism for Surrender.
I placed my own comments over this at my blog, From Rubberstamp Republicans to Roadblock Republicans
What an incredible horses patootie this guy is. We can never thank the Swifties enough for exposing him to us all.

'Rubber Stamp' or 'Roadblock' it was a Democrat majority or so I was told. A bunch of Copperheads more like.

The freepers may have homed in on the reason the Dems had to 'Rush to surrender'....soon it may be too late. When the entire country of Iraq goes anti-AlQaida, it'll be too late for sure!

Pretty sure the rapidly disappearing influence of AlQaida in Iraq will make Dinghy Harry's head explode! Altho' his most likely 'exit clause' his lawyers will give him on 'the war is lost' crack is that he meant the US War against Osama (or some equally dhimmi anti-military wisecrack he'll dream up)!
Still finding more good news than bad!

Most interesting development Deuce, and the link it's based on (ADNKI) is worthy of note as well.
