This measure is a bi-partisan bill with support from thethe military, but it is not getting the press it requires to overcome the filibuster.
to the flip
There's obviously justice in this bill, and it has a chance to save the minds, bodies and relationships of our troops. But, from the perspective our here at KOS, it has the ability to take the fight to the GOP on many fronts.
There's the Up or Down Vote
Bill Frist
There's the Support our Troops
Fred Thompson
There's the Do Nothing Congress(℠)
And of course there's Mr Bush's war
so, why let discussion stop at the first failed cloture vote?
Why not let the Senate hang on this for a few days?
even better, why not keep the Senate in session over the weekend?
If a single women's life is important enough to come to the senate on Christmas recess, surely they can stay in town on a weekend for our troops?
Let the Republicians close down business over this amendment!
Let them go on the Sunday talk shows and defend destroying our troops morale, family life, and lives.
let's see them look at the camera and say I support our troops, but we can't afford to keep their lives together.
Senator Reid, if you support this bill Let them hang slowly in the wind
