69 More to End the WarOn 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. More InformationNormally 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:

69 More to End the WarPetition InstructionsThank you for taking a stand on this important issue! Our petition system (created by The People's Email Network) will deliver the message on the left directly to your two U.S. Senators and one Representative, and you will see their names after you press submit. We request your address so (a) we can identify your Representatives; (b) your Representatives can verify that you live in their district; (c) your Representatives can send you a reply. If you are a U.S. citizen living abroad, use your U.S. voting address (usually your last U.S. address even if you no longer get mail there.) Sections (2) and (3) are purely optional. We hope you'll use (3) to tell your friends because the more people who sign our petitions, the more Congress will listen to us. You should expect a reply from your Representatives by email or snail mail. If you do not, call their office at 202-225-3121 and ask why they have not responded to your constituent email.
