Senate Democrats have apparently decided to disappear the great House bill (which had only 2 months of funding and then a vote in July that might have been the showdown on funding, and then another vote in September that even more likely would’ve been the showdown to get us out in 2007) and instead want to give Bush a $95 Billion Supplemental:
Next week, the Senate will vote on a new version of the supplemental war funding bill. We don’t know the details yet, but it looks like the Senate will give the President $95 billion for the war without
any fixed timeline for the withdrawal of our troops. Call your Senator today, and next week to tell them to vote against the supplemental war funding bill, which amounts to a blank check for Bush/Cheney!
By the way, $95 Billion, at $1.9 Billion a week, equals 50 weeks of war funding!
Read the entire Progressive Democrats post. Here’s what’s the plan is: Reid-Feingold will be the figleaf Democrats use to block criticism of their $95 Billion full funding of the occupation.
Let your Presidential candidate know — http://www.hillaryclinton.com/ http://www.barackobama.com/ http://www.joebiden.com/ http://www.chrisdodd.com/– this will not cut it for you, and your support is on the line.
You are antiwar and voting for the $95 Billion is pro-war. 50 more weeks of pro-war.
