Congress is Voting on More Funding for Iraq War
Opposition is Growing, Make Your Voice Heard Now
Even if You've Already Taken Action
100,000 Messages to Congress Planned in Next 48 Hours
Earlier, it looked like President Bush would get a landslide vote for his
$87
billion Iraq war legislation. But TrueMajority, MoveOn, Working Assets and
other
activist organizations flooded Congress with faxes, e-mails, phone calls and
personal
visits.
Feeling that citizen pressure, more Members of Congress than anyone imagined
have declared their intention to vote NO on the blank check. We need to
show
them Americans support their standing up to the President, and encourage
others
that it's right to join the opposition.
The votes are now scheduled for Thursday in the House and Friday in the
Senate
(Oct. 16th and 17th).
TrueMajority, together with our sister online organizations, is asking our
members
to send one last message to Congress: vote no on the quagmire bill.
Congress
should allocate more funds only after the President properly involves the
United
Nations in rebuilding Iraq and fires the national security team that got
America
into this quagmire.
Among us, we're committed to delivering 100,000 calls, emails, and faxes to
Congress in the next 48 hours.
