The Pledge will keep running throughout the weekend, its signers continuing to try and get through to Republican Senate leadership with the message that now is the time to refuse to go along to get along with Senate Democrats. Now is the time to support the troops and thus to refuse cloture on the Biden resolution.
Please sign, and then take a look at the full blogroll, and then the state map. Then make an effort to contact the key GOP senators, starting with Senator McConnell and Senator McCain.

Iraq war protesters rally in Washington
POSTED: 10:53 a.m. EST, January 27, 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Thousands of anti-war protesters, energized by fresh congressional skepticism about the war in Iraq, were demanding a withdrawal of U.S. troops in a demonstration Saturday featuring a handful of celebrities such as Susan Sarandon and Jane Fonda.
"We see many things that we feel helpless about. But this is like a united force. This is something I can do," said 59-year-old Barbara Struna of Brewster, Massachusetts.
Struna, a mother of five who runs an art gallery, said she made a two-day bus trip with her 17-year-old daughter, Anna, to the nation's capital to represent what she said was middle America's opposition to President Bush's war policy.
"My generation is the one that is going to have to pay for this," added the high school senior who said she knows as many as 20 friends who have been to Iraq.
She held a sign that said, "Heck of a job, Bushie," mocking Bush's words of encouragement to his disaster relief chief, Michael Brown, amid criticism of the government's immediate response to Hurricane Katrina in the summer of 2005.
Other demonstrators on a clear, sunny day carried signs to the National Mall that said "Make hip-hop not War," "The surge is a lie," and "Clean water speaks louder than bombs."
United for Peace and Justice, a coalition group sponsoring the protest, said there has been intense interest in the rally since Bush announced he was sending 21,500 additional troops to Iraq. He termed the increase a "surge" in troops.
The group said its Internet site received more than 5 million hits this month, including 650,000 on Wednesday -- the day leaders held a media briefing about the protest.
The rally was scheduled as congressional opposition to the war is building. The Senate is considering nonbinding resolutions that would state opposition to Bush sending the extra forces to Iraq.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-California, led a delegation to Iraq on Friday, while Bush met with military leaders in the Oval Office.
Frank Houde, 72, of Albany, New York, was a career Air Force pilot who served in Vietnam. Houde did not carry a sign, but said that his protest was on his hat, which said "Veterans for peace."
"The fact is war doesn't work. Iraq is not going to work. The war was started for reasons that turned out to be false," said the former pilot and navigator.
Houde, retired from the antique restoration business, said he was never upset by protests at home while he was in Vietnam.
"I knew most were protesting on principle," he said. "It was a democratic process."
Houde said he came to this protest to be counted and added, "You can't sit in the middle of the stink of war for a year and not be affected by it. We changed the balance of power in Congress."
He said that since the new Democratic Congress is now starting to listen to those opposing the war, the timing of the protest "isn't an accident."
Scheduled speakers in addition to Fonda and Sarandon included Danny Glover, Tim Robbins, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy and several members of Congress who oppose the war.
A small group of active-duty military troops planned to attend the protest. A Defense Department spokeswoman said members of the Armed Forces can speak out, subject to several restrictions.
They must not do so in uniform, and they must make clear that they do not speak on behalf of their military unit, their service or the Defense Department, unless authorized to do so.
Could you tell me who is behind this group or who is funding it.
Thanks again for all you do.
Rock on, DC FReepers! I'm with you in spirit; thanks for your service.
With appreciation,
BUMP!
This time the communists and America haters are not even hiding the fact that they are behind the demonstrations.
I fear for the people of Iraq. There fate will not be reeducation camps but rather mass beheadings and mass graves.
The only consolation is that this generation of veterans will mostly outlive Jihad Jane and be around to pi$$ on her grave.
Be that as it may they are the same old bunch of anti-american, mostly communist, organizations. Here's a partial list of their member organizations. You'll recognize some of them as the same old same old.
American Friends Service Committee, Black Radical Congress, Center for Constitutional Rights, CODEPINK, Friends of the Earth, Global Exchange, Gold Star Families for Peace, Green Party of the United States, Greenpeace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, National Organization for Women, National Youth and Student Peace Coalition, Not in Our Name, PAX Christi USA, RainbowPUSH Coalition, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, TrueMajority, US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, US Labor Against the War, Veterans for Peace, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and War Resisters League.
Here is what they claim is the full list in an Excel spreadsheet.
Be sure to run your virus checker after hitting that website.
That's so last century. Her new real name is:
Thanks El Gato. :)

America's voters went to the Polls last November with the clear understanding that...
...even the Demcocrats felt that we must NOT abandon the Free People of Iraq like we did the once Free People of South Vietnam long ago.
"Surprise, Surpise" as GOMER PYLE, USMC used to say on TV.
As CLARITY finally comes out for all to see on National TV this morning in Washington, D.C...?
One sign on TV read:
IMPEACH CHENEY,
...then BUSH.
Agenda IS, as Agenda DOES, perhaps..?
Even in Time of War
..with our own Freedom now
..directly at stake here at home..?
.
RIGHT ON~~~~~~~~
NUTS! I forgot all about C-Span. Thanks for the reminder.
Just thought of another one.
Yep - every commie this side of the Pacific showed up. John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, the Reeeeeeeeverend Jackson, the NOW crowd, Code Pink, and yes, Jane Fonda graced the stage. It was even announced that every woman in America had a message to send - "PULL IT OUT!" (What does that mean exactly?) A freak show to beat all others...
Today I carried a flag which no longer has a country. I doubt that many got the symbolism.
