The new Gallup Poll just came out, and lo and behold, as unpopular as still sinking president Bush is, Congress now has a LOWER approval rating. There is a simple and complete explanation for this.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESPISE COWARDS MORE EVEN THAN A CRIMINAL
We put Democrats in control of Congress in November on the possibly vain hope that the yellow stripes down their backs were not permanent tattoos (not that the Republicans are any better on this score). But instead of biting the bullet, and getting our troops the hell out of the monstrously illegal occupation of Iraq, all we are getting from both sides of the aisle are tweaking "limp along with the failure" proposals.
One presidential aspirant was quoted this week as saying we are 16 votes away from ending this brutal insanity. What a dismal abdication of leadership! They have the votes RIGHT NOW to stop the funding, period. Hell, they could have a 100-0 majority and they STILL wouldn't do it on their own, for fear of losing even one seat of that 100, for fear of being called insufficiently patriotically blood-thirsty.
It only takes 41 votes to filibuster the supplemental appropriation. What would that do? That would EXTEND debate UNTIL amendments were passed to put an END to their abortion of a foreign policy immediately. If they had any courage whatsoever. If they weren't so entirely tone deaf to the will of the American people more politely expressed.
Maybe they need to start hearing from more people calling them out for being such gutless cowards, which is what they are. Cowards on bringing out troops home. Cowards on impeachment. Cowards, cowards and more cowards!
You may or may not get this message in time to call about the Feingold-Reid Bill SB 1007, which if the truth were known is just a half-hearted sop to the anti-occupation majority of the American people, which the "leadership" is not even sincerely pushing, and even if it were to pass it would just be vetoed. But call anyway. Call their bluff. Demand they actually pass the bill, and not just use it as a "look we tried and this is why you need to elect more Democrats" campaign photo-op.
And while you are at it, tell them to vote DOWN the supplemental next week. NO supplemental. Not a penny more to finance the deaths of our troops in Iraq, who don't have the luxury of hiding in Congressional cloakrooms pretending there is nothing really effective they can do to stop the senseless murder and destruction.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.
