"Reid To Allow Vote On Feingold Measure To End Iraq War
By Greg Sargent | bio

Good news for war foes: Harry Reid just spoke on the Senate floor, revealing that he'll allow a vote this week on the Feingold-Reid amendment, which would cut off funding for the war by March 31, 2008.

This is a big deal for war opponents -- it's the first vote in the Senate on a measure of this kind. "This is a vote that folks have been clamoring for for some time now," enthuses a staffer who works for a Senator favoring the approach.

The staffer added that while the measure faces an uphill struggle, a vote on it will move the parameters of the debate and force Senators into a straight up-or-down vote on the war -- just as last week's House vote on Dem Rep. James McGovern's proposal to end the war did..."

2. YES. Call. Write. SCREAM.

I'm guessing there's some real consensus from the Dems or this wouldn't happen.

Alas, my Senators are John McHypocrisy and Vile Kyl, but alas, I'll do my best.

4. Definitely. And the numbers at the bottom of my post...

...work as well for declaring your support of this bill as they do for demanding IMPEACHMENT.

NGU.

7. Can the thief in the white house veto it???? I swear these people need to be impeached

If anything is going to get done these evil bastards need to go.

8. There's so much dead-weight in the Senate, it will never make it to his desk.

10. Call your senators NOW. Even if you have dead weight like I do (Kyl, McCain)

let them know that you are paying attetntion.

Let's get our moms, dads, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers home--this is what we've been waiting for for so very long.

And if you want, I'll be willing to throw in a grumpy senior citizen, an unhappy screaming baby, and a brawling mom to get your attention!

11. ... for what we've all been waiting for, dammit.
