The Biden for President Campaign has published a petition calling on Americans to telephone the other presidential candidates in the Senate -- Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Chris Dodd -- urging them to vote against the failed Bush Administration policy in Iraq, and support the Biden-Brownback-Boxer amendment that will be up for vote in the Senate at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 25.
You can sign the petition HERE. We will send your names to the members of the House and Senate to convince them to support the amendment.
"Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and I have introduced the Biden-Brownback-Boxer amendment, which calls for working with the Iraqis to transition the country into a federal system as their Constitution allows, and securing the support of the United Nations and Iraq's neighbors for this plan," Senator Biden stated. "We need to end this God-awful war and begin a draw down of U.S. troops in Iraq."
Majority Leader Harry Reid has called on Democratic Senators to unite in support for the measure. Senators John Kerry (D-MA), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), Blanche Lambert Lincoln (D-AR) and Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) have joined on as co-sponsors of this amendment. In an important display of bipartisanship, Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA), Gordon Smith (R-OR), and Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX) are also supporting the amendment.
But as of right now, the other three Democratic presidential candidates in the Senate -- Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd and Barack Obama -- have not indicated their intent. Will you join us in enlisting their support?
