Tell the Senate: End the Occupation; Support the Feingold-Reid Legislation

from Working Assets: http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?itemid=22205

In response to President Bush's promise to veto supplemental appropriations for the ongoing occupation of Iraq, Senators Feingold and Reid have now drafted legislation that will effectively end the current military mission in Iraq and begin the redeployment of U.S. forces.

Their bill requires the President to begin safely redeploying U.S. troops from Iraq 120 days from enactment, as required by the emergency supplemental spending bill the Senate recently passed. The bill ends funding for the war, with three narrow exceptions, effective March 31, 2008.

It's clear that the vast majority of Americans disapprove of President Bush's handling of Iraq. Regrettably, the President refuses to change course, stubbornly thinking that throwing even more money and troops into a failed occupation will somehow produce different results. Our troops are now caught in the middle of a civil war.

If President Bush does, in fact, veto the recently passed supplemental appropriations bill - thus cutting off funds for the troops - then the Senate needs to take action to end the occupation quickly. The Senate is in recess this week, but it is expected that Senator Feingold will formally propose his legislation on the first day of the next work session, April 10.

Call to action:
Tell your Senators to publicly announce their support for the Feingold-Reid legislation.
