More Than 1200 Movie Night Events Nationwide Thursday Members Will Watch Film, "Ground Truth" and Petition Members of Congress WASHINGTON, Feb 14, 2007 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Congressman John Murtha will deliver a videotaped message to tens of thousands of MoveOn members across the country this Thursday night in an effort to help block President Bush's attempt to escalate his failed policy in Iraq. The action will coincide with the viewing of the new film, "The Ground Truth" -- a powerful documentary told through the eyes of veterans of the Iraq war. The movie reminds us that this is not just about troop numbers and dollar amounts. This is about real lives that will never be the same even if the soldiers do make it home. "Representative Murtha is a leader in stopping the escalation of a failed war in Iraq," said Tom Matzzie, Washington Director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "We are honored that the Congressman is speaking with our members on this extremely important issue," concluded Matzzie. After some words of inspiration from the Congressman, MoveOn members will write letters to their representatives. The letters will urge Congress to vote against the President's escalation and support a plan to responsibly redeploy troops out of harms way. The letters will be delivered to the district offices of Congress on Thursday, February 22nd. President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq is generating a new outpouring of opposition activities all over the country. Since the president's January 10th speech, MoveOn: -- Held more than 500 Emergency Rallies to Oppose Escalation in Iraq. -- Ran 2 TV advertising campaigns opposing escalation in Iraq. -- Grew by almost 200,000 new members.

is this guy a floater or what??!!
sure as hell sounds inappropriate to me; hence my posting it.
he's a loser any way you slice it.
Murtha Watch Ping.
Great article on Malkin's HOT AIR. It's right on except for murtha being a former Marine, he's an ex-Marine.
If this is not a good reason for GWB to suspend habeus corpus and imprison war resisters, ie. traitors in Congress, then I don't know what is.
"This is like catering to lobbyists!"
Which CUT and RUN murtha does with his military lobbyist brother. They both are lining their pockets.
It's a pity we are a post-treason nation.
Not a good night for coordinating pings with posts : )
Disclaimer: My post above by no means indicates I have a bullet with murtha's name on it.
That said, my point in posting this is to say there is no rational, logical, or good reason this SOB should be permitted to portray this as a game. He's f'ing with our troops for personal gain.
