Yeas, For the Kerry-Feingold Proposal To Redeploy American Combat Troops Out of Iraq by July 1, 2007

Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-HI)
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), co-sponsor
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL)
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA)
Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI)
Sen. James Jeffords (I-VT)
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA)
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), co-sponsor
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ)
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR)

We don't need any more warhawks/chickenhawks who have never served in combat, yet, for more of the same six years of the Bush occupancy of our White House and Iraq. The people who failed to vote for the end of this treasonous war and occupation are Democrats? They should have to stand up and define themselves for their vote to support this treasonous Bush GOP regime.

Why don't we have solidarity in the Democratic party in Congress? Why? Why is 13 such a great number?  What in the hell are our American military dying for? Not this. A country so enmeshed in punishing crimes can't punish the biggest crimes of this century. The Bush GOP illegal take over of this country and their illegal use of America's military and the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Where are our Democrats?

Thanks BuzzFlash,

Shirley Smith
