An email from Senator Feingold..
Dear ***,

According to the latest news reports, in the coming days the
President will address the nation about his intentions regarding
the situation in Iraq. While the President ought to set forth a
timetable to redeploy our troops out of Iraq as soon as
possible, all signs point to a repackaged version of "stay the
course," possibly with an increased U.S. presence on the ground.
That strategy simply doesn't make sense. Our open-ended presence
there only fuels the insurgency, and adding more troops with no
end date in sight only adds more fuel to the fire.

Thanks to each and every one of you, starting today, Democrats
now control Congress and now is the time for us to lead. There
is no higher foreign policy priority than making America safer
and getting our nation back on track by redeploying our troops
out of Iraq.

It has been almost two months since Americans went to the polls
and rejected the President's strategy in Iraq. Since then I've
continued the fight we started in August 2005 when we were alone
in demanding a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Today, in
this new Democratic Congress, I have introduced legislation that
would require the redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq within
six months.

The administration has repeatedly ignored recommendations for a
timely redeployment of our forces currently fighting in Iraq.
But it's reckless to continue to devote so much of our resources
to one nation while ignoring the growing threats we face
elsewhere in the world. It is now time for Congress to work
toward redeployment.

I'm asking for citizen co-sponsors from all 50 states to join my
call for redeployment. I know the Progressive Patriots Community
has always been by my side and I hope you'll continue to work
with me on this extremely important issue.

I will continue to work for a sensible foreign policy that
refocuses our efforts from Iraq in order to continue the global
fight against terrorist networks. Please co-sponsor my
resolution to help send the message that we can't afford to wait
any longer. It's time for Congress to take the necessary steps
to fix our Iraq policy immediately.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold
U.S. Senator
Honorary Chair, Progressive Patriots Fund

2. This will really send a strong signal in
support for a timetable. Glad Feingold is still pushing this.
