Thom Hartmann's email appeal for signatures -- please look

[Bozita]

Received this about an hour ago:

Dear friend,

This is the first time I've ever "forwarded" anything to you other than original articles that I've written myself, but I am so moved by the work that Democracy for America (the group that Howard Dean started) is doing that I felt the need to share this with you. We simply cannot allow our young men and women to die in Iraq any longer, nor continue to be the irritant that is fanning the flames of war there and in that region any longer, in my humble opinion.

So, here is an email I just received - and responded to - from Democracy For America. I hope you find it useful. If you'd like to be removed from this list, just drop me a note at [e-mail].

Best regards,
Thom

We cannot allow another 2,000 American soldiers to die, and we cannot afford another billion dollars to be thrown away. Our elected officials must face this issue now.
--Amy of Waterford, OH

Everyday more American soldiers are killed and wounded in Iraq. The violence and attacks on innocent Iraqi citizens continues to go unchecked. Billions of dollars have been spent, yet, we have no coherent exit plan.

As a Marine, I witnessed first-hand the devastation and destruction of this war. The mistruths and deception of the Bush administration have created a quagmire. That's why I signed the pledge to only send responsible leaders to Washington. And I'm asking you to do the same.
I pledge to only support candidates who:
1. Acknowledge that the U.S. was misled into the war in Iraq
2. Advocate for a responsible exit plan with a timeline
3. Support our troops both at home and abroad

It's time for leaders to step up to the plate and face the Iraq mess head-on because the situation only keeps getting worse. But, before we can fix it, Washington must first acknowledge the crisis we are in. You can help. Take a stand and sign the pledge to hold candidates accountable on the Iraq war.

I served my country on the front lines in Iraq and saw the consequences of failed leadership up close. We need new leadership in Washington that will face this crisis with courage.

Join me and tens of thousands of Americans by standing up and telling Washington to start planning our exit now. Sign the pledge today:

Thank you,
