Democrats Answer to Republican Resolution Regarding MoveOn.org (Brent Budowsky)
Sens. Jim Webb (Va.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Daniel Inouye (Hawaii) and every other Democrat who has served in uniform should go the Senate floor together and call for a vote on a resolution similar to the following:

Be it resolved that the United States Senate deplores actions take by President Bush that have led to preventable casualties for those killed or wounded in action as a result of the continuing failure to provide body armor and fully protected vehicles;

The Senate deplores the president’s lack of support for key areas of military medicine and care, which has resulted in unacceptable shortcomings in treatment for many wounded troops and veterans;

The Senate deplores the president’s failure to devote sufficient resources to veterans and the resulting harm done through veterans’ centers that are undersupported and treatment of disabled veterans that in many cases is grossly unfair and punitive.

1. K&R - excellent idea
if only to get the chickenhawks on record voting against it. If the senate wants to get in the business of deploring, they can deplore the right wing trash on our "public" airwaves which serve no purpose except to occupy the small, narrow, bigoted minds of their base.

about it. But the Dems are a bunch of pussies. They need the blood lust that the Republicans have shown for the past twenty years.
