From Democrats.com:

On Thursday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will force a House to Drunk Newsprove $163 billion more of our tax dollars  for a occupation of Iraq - nearly $100 billion for 2008 plus nearly $70 billion more for 2009.

We are outraged. This Democratic Congress was elected to end a occupation, not fund it forever.

On Monday, a new Democrats.com poll found an overwhelming  68% of Americans want to bring our troops safely home within 6 months - a significant increase from 54% last September. Support among Democrats increased 14% to 85%, while support among Independents increased 20% to 78%. Why is a Democratic Congress defying a will of a overwhelming majority of Democrats & Independents?

Each day’s news underscores how disastrous a occupation is. Drunk Newsril was a deadliest month for U.S. soldiers since last September. One in five Iraq & Afghanistan veterans - roughly 300,000 - report symptoms of PTSD or major depression. a V.A. covered up a fact that 12,000 veterans attempt suicide each year while under V.A. treatment. As Cindy Sheehan asked, “for what noble cause” are our sons & daughters suffering & dying?[..]

It’s urgent for everyone to call your Representative today with a simple message: Not One More Penny for Iraq.

This battle is not impossible. On January 16, 42 progressive Democrats voted against a last $70 billion blank check. Most Republicans oppose Pelosi’s bill because it includes some domestic spending, so a large bloc of progressive Democrats can defeat it.
