That we elected them to the majority to get us OUT of Iraq.
Yesterday someone posted info about a conference call with peace activist and Representatives Lyn Woolsey and Jim Moran held in August transcript posted recently. I found it very interesting and actually gave me a glimmer of hope that I haven't had in a LONG time - in that at least I know that there are some Dems who are not spineless and are pushing back and trying to end this....one of the points made by both Reps is that many of the Dems don't get the fact that they won the majority in 2006 because WE want out of Iraq and put them in the majority to do that....so when you call or write please be sure to include this in your comments....here are two quotes from the Reps that go to the point:
Woolsey: "But there’s still a lack of understanding that the reason we’re in the majority is that the people of this country wanted us to lead in bringing our troops home."
Moran: "And then, look at the freshman. Look at the freshman. These freshmen think that they walked a tight rope and they barely got elected. The reality is that most of the freshman, and the entire Democratic majority in a general sense, were elected because we were supposed to carry out a referendum on the war, and end this war. And that’s what they need to understand. If they don’t fulfill that mandate from the American people, then they don’t deserve to be representing their constituencies. I don’t know if they got their
this month in August or not, but they should have, and you guys are the best ones to articulate that."
Lots of other really good comments by the Reps in this transcript with some insight into Nancy Pelosi... well worth the read.
