KEYWORDS: antisurge; bluedogs; surrender
CONTACT House Republicans such as Rep. Walter Jones (N.C.), Wayne Gilchrest (Md.), Ron Paul (Texas) and Jim Ramstad (Minn.)and others who support the "anti-surge" resolution, H.R. 787, and educate them about the historical depth of this modern era jihadist war (back to late 1920s). Also, contact the Blue-Dog Democrats who are crucial in determining the fate of this shameful bill: e.g., Rep. Heath Shuler (D-AR) and Rep. Allen Boyd (D-FL) and their like-minded House colleagues. Someone PLEASE post a complete list of wobbly Republicans. Also include Blue Dogs and any other Democrats possibly in favor of Iraq war but who might need some encouragement and support.
