Not good enough
Read Hugh Hewitt’s Townhall.com column deals with the pledge, but there is even greater urgency to the task of bringing informed pressure to bear on GOP senators gone wobbly on the war. If you are a blogger, please consider posting the contact information below and urging your readers to join in the effort to wake up the GOP Senate caucus. Send along Dean's post as a primer on how senators are supposed to act when difficult political decisions loom affecting the life of their country and the conduct of a war.
Please tell the candidates in the ’08 cycle especially –Alexander, Collins, Coleman and Smith and would be presidential nominee Brownback—that a vote for the Warner resolution is the end of support for them and the NRSC.
Senator Alexander’s phone: (202) 224-4944. His e-mail is here.
Senator Brownback’s phone: (202) 224-6521. His e-mail is here.
Senator Coleman’s phone: (202) 224-5641.His e-mail is here.
Senator Collins’ phone: (202) 224-2523. Her e-mail is here.
Senator Smith’s phone: (202) 224-3753. His e-mail is here.
Senator Voinovich's phone: (202) 224-3353. His e-mail is here.
The GOP leadership, which need to announce that no resolution will voted on that encourages the enemy, and that includes the Warner resolution or any cousin of the Warner resolution:
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s phone is (202) 224-2541. His e-mail is here.
Minority Whip Trent Lott’s phone is (202) 224-6253. His e-mail is here.
Senator Jon Kyl’s phone is (202) 224-4521. His e-mail is here.
Senator John Ensign’s phone is (202) 224-6244. His e-mail is here.
When you are done calling and writing, start over, and ask your friends to do so as well, beginning with the pledge.
I don't know what these senators are thinking this morning, but they clearly haven't been listening to you. No debate will begin or vote be taken until next week, so invest some time in supporting the troops by bringing clarity to these senators: You can't win a war by encouraging the enemy and undercutting the commander on the ground in Iraq or the Commander-in-Chief in the White House. Not to understand that is a great way to send an unreversable message to core supporters that their time and money is best spent elsewhere.
Senator Brownback's campaign website e-mai is: info@brownback.com.
Visit TheNRSCPledge.com, sign up, contact the key senators, and then ask your friends and family to do the same.
