You will like this one from the Democrats own Site, sponsored by Howard Dean. They cannot stop lying. It is in their nature:

The letter the sent to me is as follows:

Hurricane season doesn’t start until June 1st, and we’re already in trouble.

Tornadoes in Kansas. Fires in California, Georgia and Florida. Floods in Missouri. We simply don’t have the resources to handle catastrophic events across our country.

Those resources are missing because of the war in Iraq.

Tell President Bush: bring our troops and equipment back where they’re needed most — here at home.

When the category five tornado hit Greensburg, Kansas, approximately 60 percent of its National Guard equipment was gone because of the war. In a town that was 95 percent destroyed, the relief process has been hindered by lack of equipment, and Kansas is even more vulnerable if another disaster strikes.

And Kansas isn’t the only state feeling the pinch. Even Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger agrees that the troops are stretched thin.

In California, where more than $1 billion of military inventory is gone, the governor said that “a lot of equipment has gone to Iraq, and it doesn’t come back when the troops come back.”

President Bush has a choice: to continue wasting our country’s resources on a war we cannot win, or to bring our troops and equipment back home to a country that needs it.

Tell President Bush to make the right choice:

It’s not just a matter of tents and Humvees — we need our troops home too.

Approximately 80 percent of our country’s National Guard and Reservists have been sent to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. They’ve spent an average of 18 months per tour of duty, and more than 84,000 of them have been deployed more than once.

U.S. Air Force Major General Melvyn S. Montano (Ret.) said it best:

Homeland security begins with hometown security and we have a responsibility to rebuild our National Guard and make sure they have the equipment and training they need to keep our communities safe.

It is time for President Bush to listen to the American people and finally acknowledge the facts on the ground — both in Iraq and here at home. Now that more and more Republican lawmakers are beginning to see that the stay-the-course approach in Iraq is unsustainable, it is time for the President to finally work in a bipartisan fashion to change course.

Protect our states. End the war:
