Did your Congressperson Vote for the "Out of Iraq" McGovern Bill?

If not,
call your Congressperson
NOW and demand
to know why s/he is not supporting a peace strategy.
Last week also marked another crucial turning point in our anti-war work. Congress had a chance to reflect the overwhelming public sentiment against the war in Iraq by voting on a bill that calls for troops to begin withdrawal in 90 days and complete it in 180 days. We were delighted to see 171 members of Congress vote for the bill, including the vast majority of Democrats and two Republicans. This is a victory for the anti-war movement--these votes were cast due to our non-stop pressure in the halls of Congress and districts around the country! To our great dismay, 59 Democrats refused to vote for an orderly redeployment of troops from Iraq. Six out of ten Americans want a timetable for withdrawal; among Democrats, that figure rises to over 90%. Moreover, a majority of the Iraqi Parliament just voted on a resolution for a timetable for withdrawal of US troops.
