ACTION PAGE:
http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_bush_surrender.phpDrafting this alert has been an enormous challenge . .
. to find a way to express our anger in a way that is
still civil. Please, Lord, help us to express this in
a way that will have a positive result.
We are hearing reports that the Democrats are
preparing to unilaterally surrender to Bush on the Iraq
supplemental, despite a solid majority of the American
people in favor of at least some kind of restraints on a
war president run amok. If this is a trial balloon, or
in part even a Republican trick to try to demoralize
us, it didn't work. We're not demoralized, we're just
angry.
The inside the beltway genius pundits, the ones who
thought the Iraq invasion and occupation was such a
bully-bully party for the first couple disastrous years,
pontificate that if the Democrats don't completely cave
in on yet another mammoth emergency funding demand it
would be political "suicide". Like we really need
them to self-appoint themselves as our campaign managers.
Meanwhile, the death and destruction in Iraq continues
unabated.
And for what? The latest rumblings in Iraq are that
the stinky, smelly oil production sharing agreement
that was the end game of this entire monstrosity is
generating increasing resistance in even the puppet Iraq
government, the harder we try to force it down their
throats. This is the only benchmark Bush has ever been
interested in. And is there any doubt that even if
they are able to force it through by our military
presence, that it be nothing but a casus belli for all
eternity?
Is there any doubt that the Iraqi people, if not the
entire Muslim world, will resent for generations, with
the most blind and unanimous hatred, the way their
natural resources were looted from them by an invading
imperial army? Is there any doubt that insurgent
attacks will continue to increase exponentially, the Al
Qaeda dream come true? Is there any doubt that any member
of the Iraqi parliament who signs on to this does so
at peril to his own life from his own people?
Is there any doubt that our only net spoils from this
war will be magnified threats of terrorist attacks
against our own homeland in revenge?
In 1919, the Chicago White Sox UNEXPECTEDLY lost the
World Series. Their biggest star, Shoeless Joe
Jackson, the number three lifetime batting average champion
of all time, had admitted under oath to being part of a
conspiracy to throw the series, but he was only
convicted of not reporting the scandal. On leaving the
courtroom, it is reported that a young fan plaintively
begged him, "Say it ain't so, Joe!" Joe Jackson was
banned from major league baseball and never played there
again.
Democrats have majorities in both houses of Congress.
They have done little but surrender, capitulate, and
surrender some more since the day we gave them those
majorities. One of the things we have heard is that
they will attach the forgotten minimum wage increase now
to a new total surrender version of the Iraq
Supplemental. Somebody please explain to us why with a
majority in both houses of Congress they could not have put
the minimum wage provision on the president's desk
months ago.
Some say they will "seek other opportunities later
this year to challenge Bush's handling of the unpopular
conflict." There will be other opportunities for
gratuitous grandstanding. But there will be few other
opportunities for ending this insane occupation, short of
impeachment (itself a necessity), UNLESS the Democrats
stick to their guns just one time.
ACTION PAGE:
http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_bush_surrender.phpWake up, America. We respectfully submit that if you
are not angry by now, you are not paying attention.
And we pray for you, that if you are motivated to
express that anger to Congress, please do it in a way that
cannot be construed as anything but a verbal
expression of your policy position.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories
that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message
to everyone else you know.
