Friday, Oct 3 - Senate votes on Iraq spending

Facing a Firestorm of Opposition,
Senate Schedules Quick Action on Iraq Quagmire Vote
Last week, we asked TrueMajority members to urge Congress not to write another $87 billion blank check for the deepening quagmire in Iraq without requiring the president to first internationalize the rebuilding of Iraq and turn the government there over to the Iraqi people.

In addition to the 70,000 TrueMajority members who faxed their Congresspeople, our sister organizations MoveOn and Working Assets mobilized their members to do the same. That flood of citizen communications hitting Congress matches the polls that show the American people oppose another $87 billion for Bush's quagmire.

So the Senate Republican leadership just announced an abrupt end to hearings over America's policy in Iraq and a speedy vote on the $87 billion to limit the people's ability to weigh in. The vote is now scheduled for Friday, October 3.

1. The resolution will be resoundingly defeated

as a huge embarrassment to *, while he scrambles to figure out a way to rip Americans off more.

Too bad the opportunity has died, permanently. The House should start thinking impeachment proceedings. Immediately.
