  Here's what we should ask those in Congress to support:  HR1234, the Kucinich-Conyers 12-point plan to end the occupation, close military bases in Iraq, and more.  Read about it at http://kucinich.us/iraqplan<http://kucinich.us/iraqplan>

  Then call your US Rep. as soon as possible, and tell him/her to support HR1234.  They may be voting on Pelosi's plan on Thursday (tomorrow), to continue Operation Iraq Quagmire.

  Toll-free numbers for Congress (just ask for your US Rep):  800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803.

  I don't know what MoveOn's idea is, but we have to put a stop to this madness.

  Bill

They opposed the surge, but now it seems they are SUPPORTING the idea of the so-called leadership of the Dems in Congress, of giving the Liar-in-Chief another year or more to create still more havoc and death in Iraq, by urging Congress to support an end by some time in 2008!  What's wrong with opposing all supplemental appropriations, and bringing the troops home NOW?
