1. Stop the War Supplemental
Whip list here with contact info and updates. (Help us update the list!)
We have 15 Democrats committed to voting No on the war money, and all the Republicans voting No because of the IMF money that has been included with it.
We have succeeded in getting the ban on releasing torture photos removed from the bill, and we may succeed in having the IMF bailout for European banksters removed too. But we want the bill defeated, and right now, with the IMF funds included, defeating the whole thing is easily within reach.
Look at the promises. 51 Democrats voted No on the same bill when it was guaranteed to pass. 89 have sworn not to vote for any more war money except for withdrawal. 85 have cosponsored a bill requiring an exit strategy for Afghanistan. And 73 have joined an "Out of Iraq" caucus. Is this all for show, or will 40 Democrats vote No when the No votes can actually be decisive, actually make the peace movement a force in Congress, actually create the power to negotiate a compromise, change the public discourse, and begin to bring these nightmares to an end?
Please call your representative today and urge them to vote no: 202-224-3121. And call them every day: as long as they keep delaying the vote, we are winning.
