The Woolsy amendment may have failed, but we still have Meehan's bill

[paineinthearse]

I have posted information about Rep. Meehan's Iraq exit strategy bill in the past, so I won't go over that again. This is posted for anyone who will be in the area to hear Rep. Meehan speak about it.

Greetings Department of Peace campaigners!

Congressman Marty Meehan (Democrat, MA 5th District) will speak at
First Parish in Bedford, MA (On the Common) on Sunday, June 5th at 12:30 p.m. He'll speak for 10-15 minutes, then Q&A. Meehan comes to us at the encouragement of Bedford's Brian Hart who, since the death of his son John in Iraq, has made truth-telling his lifework. Meehan and Hart have made common cause in exposing unwelcome truths about the war and dissenting from both pro and anti-war orthodoxies. After recently visiting Iraq, Meehan has prepared a draft White Paper that outlines an exit strategy, including a withdrawal of most American troops within 12-18 months.
