Yesterday, US Senate Republicans agreed to begin debate on the Feingold-Reid anti-war bill because they said the debate would give them time to hail progress in Iraq. The bill would "provide for the safe redeployment of United States troops from Iraq."
Now, Feingold is asking for help in the anti-war effort.
In an email sent by the Progressive Patriot's Fund, of which Feingold is the honorary chair, he says:
You may have heard that after months of filibustering the Senate agreed yesterday, on a 70-24 vote, to have a debate on the Feingold-Reid bill which uses Congress's "power of the purse" to safely redeploy our troops out of Iraq. Now to be clear, Republicans agreed to have this debate because they're under the false impression that Democrats may be embarrassed to debate the war in Iraq.
I disagree, and so do the vast majority of the American people.
Add your name to thousands of others, and get your friends and family to join us in supporting Feingold-Reid.
Consider, if you will, participating in the petition campaign.
