Subject: Helping Republicans Oppose Escalation

   <http://www.democrats.org/noescalation> Dear john, Today, House Democrats
introduced a resolution that, in simple language, represents a vote of no
confidence in the Bush Administration's policy in Iraq. This is the first
opportunity House Republicans have had to join us and oppose the president's
failed policy, and that's sending shockwaves through the White House. Just
like the overwhelming majority of Americans, many Republicans know
escalation of the war in Iraq is wrong, and they're willing to break party
lines to stop it. As one GOP Congressman from Maryland put it, "my internal
soul goes a lot beyond my minuscule political career."
But the Republican leadership is doing everything it can to protect the
President's escalation plan by working to get wavering Republicans to tow
the party line. That's why we all need to speak up and remind House
Republicans where the American people stand -- it's the job of Congress to
represent us, and a bipartisan rejection of the White House's plan to
escalate our involvement in Iraq will demonstrate just how far this
president and the rest of the GOP leadership have drifted from mainstream
America.
 Remind them by adding your name right now:
http://www.democrats.org/noescalation This war is no longer what George Bush
sold the American people. There are no WMD's in Iraq. Saddam Hussein is
dead. Our troops are mired in a deadly, full-blown civil war. And the
president couldn't be more out of touch; he wants to escalate our
involvement with 21,500 more brave men and women. The vast majority -- 70%
-- of Americans disagree. They demanded a new direction on Iraq in the 2006
elections, and they're demanding that Congress stops this escalation and
start ending this war. The Republican leadership in Congress has put
protecting an escalation of the war at the top of their agenda.
 Senate Republicans refuse to even have a debate about it. For them, it's
not about what the American people want -- only what the president thinks he
needs. There's one powerful interest silencing Republicans in Congress right
now, and it's headquartered at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Add your name now:
http://www.democrats.org/noescalation For over a decade, the Republican
leadership in Congress refused to allow serious debate on important issues,
even keeping a muzzle on its members -- and the American people. Here's just
a sample of what was ignored, day in and day out:
> We have lost enough young people in this war, and we are not winning it with
> force. The money that we are pouring into Iraq could be educating our young
> people. They will be the ones that pay for this war.
> -- Martha W., CA President Bush created the mess in Iraq, and al Qaeda was NOT
> there before we invaded. We keep sending our young men there to be killed but
> things keep getting worse... We have to find a way for ALL the American people
> to wake up, see what is happening, and let their voices be heard.
> -- Donna M., FL
Those are just a couple of the comments we've received from thousands of
Americans. What do you have to add? http://www.democrats.org/noescalation
It's time for Americans everywhere -- no matter the party -- to stand with
the Democrats in Congress and oppose escalation in Iraq. Thank you, Governor
Howard Dean, M.D.
