Background

Normally it takes 218 votes to get a majority in the House, but most Republicans voted "present" to embarass Democrats, so we won with only 149 votes. More here:
House Progressives STOP $163B for Iraq Occupation

Petition

On May 15, something remarkable happened: led by progressive Democrats, 149 Representatives voted against Bush's demand for $163 billion more to occupy Iraq for another year, and we won the vote in the House 149-141!

While we lost the vote in the Senate by 70-26, the House will vote again in early June. And if the House stands firm by voting no, Bush will have to bring our troops safely home, just as 68% of Americans want.

To win the next House vote, we need 69 more no votes to reach a decisive majority of 218. As my Representative in Congress, I urge you to vote against any more funds to occupy Iraq.
