I am adamantly opposed to the $124 Billion Supplemental Appropriations bill that gives George Bush the money he needs to keep U.S. troops in Iraq until 2008. Moveon.org does not speak for me on the Iraq War. The "benchmarks" that supposedly require Bush to bring troops home by August 2008 have no enforcement mechanism and will just be ignored. The bill even lets Bush invade Iran if he wants. The only real power Congress has to end the war is to restrict the use of all funds for a "fully-funded withdrawal" as proposed by Rep. Barbara Lee in an Amendment that she was not even allowed to introduce. We urge all Representatives to stand with Representatives Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Lacy Clay, Raul Grijalva, Dennis Kucinich, John Lewis, and Donald Payne in their principled and courageous decision to vote NO on the Supplemental.
The question is: "End the Iraq War by Voting NO on 124 Billion Supplemental?".
