True to the Kerry/VVAW template, the IVAW will take its subversive case to congress (small "c") on May 15, though decidedly not in a congressional venue with the "gravitas" that Kerry managed to obtain (The "Progressive" Caucus)
Despite what will probably be an underwhelming bit of political theatre, it is worthwhile, I think, to get out in front of this agitprop (as many pro-military bloggers/organizations are already doing).
I thought this petition was particularly well-written (despite a few typos) and am passing it along for your consideration. Perhaps you might consider signing and doing the same...

For those who haven’t heard, IVAW will be presenting materials from their Winter Soldier investigation to the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) next Thursday (May 15).
I’ve created another petition (http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ivawtruthintestimony/) asking the CPC to verfiy any info that IVAW brings to them. This petition reads about the same as the petition that was circulated for the Senate Armed Services Committee. The CPC is more of an ad-hoc group than any sort of official committee, but since we’ve been out in front of IVAW on this, we should probably stay there.
Please circulate this petition among your mailing lists. I’ll be doing a post on some other sites, and a couple of friendly bloggers have agreed to do a short blurb on their sites as well.
A plan for delivery of the petitions is in the works. As of yesterday, we had 950 signatures on the original petition to the SASC; hopefully we can meet/exceed that this time around.
Thanks!
