Why is Harry Reid telling me to take a stand when he won't?
Even after our bloodiest summer in Iraq, George Bush still refuses to reevaluate his flawed strategy that led to one of the worst foreign policy blunders in our nation's history. A change of course in Iraq is long overdue, and I will fight for that change in the coming weeks.

In July, several Republicans began to speak out against the President's failed strategy. But when it came time to vote, they continued to back George Bush.

I promise you, I will not let these Republicans hide. When the Senate returns to Washington, I will force them to take vote, after vote, after vote on bringing an end to the war in Iraq. Talk is cheap -- their votes are what really count. Republicans will have to decide, do they stand with the President or with the American people?

This summer, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, a coalition of organizations working to end the war, put pressure on these Republicans utilizing hundreds of organizers and thousands of volunteers. Their efforts will culminate with town hall meetings and Stand Up Vigils across the country on August 28th.

Take A Stand Town Halls and Stand Up Vigils are part of a nation-wide organizing drive to demand that members of Congress stand with the vast majority of Americans who want a safe and responsible redeployment of American Forces from Iraq.

Sign up to attend a Take A Stand Town Hall or Stand Up Vigil in your community by visiting:

In September the White House will issue its report on the surge. They will try to use this moment to convince the American people that the escalation worked.

That's why if you want to end the war, it is vital you participate in this event. We need to put as much pressure as possible on Republicans in Congress.

Thank you,

Harry Reid

1. Maybe he's asking you to do something he can't? See, it is tough to stand up when you lack a spine.
Harry Reid is a disgusting, spineless jellyfish. He is no man. He is no leader.

Just an war crime enabling spineless tool for the Corporate shills of the DLC.
