Dear Friends,

Recently, I've
been thinking a lot about some numbers:


* 1,400 empty-handed
weapons inspectors.

* Almost 2,000
American lives lost.

* Almost $200
billion spent.

* 150,000 soldiers
still in Iraq.

* 0 plans to bring
an end to it all.


The war in Iraq is costing this country and Minnesota in lives, treasure, and opportunity, and we can no longer afford to continue down the path we're on.

Today I am calling for the Administration to end our involvement in Iraq by Thanksgiving 2006 and prepare for the return of our brave men and women by launching a new generation of programs to honor their service.


I haven't come to this conclusion easily, but with Saddam Hussein removed from power and an Iraqi government now in place, it is time to return our focus to making America stronger and safer.

2. Did anything else happen at the SCC today?

I missed it because my car has been misbehaving and I didn't want to provoke it by driving to Owatonna.

3. Elected a Director, accepted the budget

Voted to distribute the "plan" to stakeholders.
A resolution to support union organizing.

Could have been some other stuff.
