This is what I'm sending out to all the people on my email lists:

We are quite aware that the 60's radicals/anti-war left that comprise the base of the RAT party are demanding that they defund the war effort one way or the other. This "non-binding Resolution" these "Hanoi-Jane" Rats have come up with is merely an effort to see how many spineless Republicans they can peel off on the first go-round of the next SNEAKY steps they plan to take to do exactly that. The RATS don't have the guts to do what the Republicans want them to do - have an up or down vote on funding the troops and the war effort. They know the American people wouldn't stand for that and they will in no way go on the record voting for what they know will result in another Vietnam-type debacle. Instead - they have a devious "gradual" plan to defund the troops incrementally, behind the scenes so the public won't actually know what they're really up to.

Wednesday, 14 February 2007 "The most depressing --- and disturbing -- spectacle of this morning's House debates on the Democrats proposed resolution opposing the surge was the sight of a handful of Republican Representatives rising to speak in favor of the resolution.

We've made a point here at The Victory Caucus to highlight those leaders who are standing firm on the war and who are committed to victory. Now, however, it is time to focus on those of our leaders who are choosing what they perceive (wrongly) to be the politically expedient course instead of what they must know is the right course. The reality of the mathematics in the House is grim: it is highly likely, if not certain, that the Democrats have sufficient votes to ensure that their resolution passes. Our goal, then, is to minimize its margin of passage: and in particular, to convince those who should know better --- our Republican members of Congress -- to do the right thing.

I would therefore ask each of you to contact your own Representative, and ask their staff to go on-the-record stating that they will oppose the Democrats' resolution. If they refuse, ask why not, and express your disappointment in their decision. Only a definitive, on-the-record "yes we will vote against the resolution" will do.

Beyond your own Representative, I would also encourage you to contact all of the Representatives listed here: http://www.victorycaucus.com/ These are some of the Republican Representatives who rose today to speak against the troop surge, and in favor of the Democrats' resolution. Call them; fax them; email them, and make clear that to oppose the President's plan to win this war is simply unacceptable."

My Rep. is Ric Keller whose contact information I'm providing below for those of you who want to warn him not to follow through on siding with the DemocRATS "Non-Binding Resolution", or any of their other proposals.

Move America Forward joins Gathering of Eagles

"...On Saturday, March 17th, Cindy Sheehan, Jane Fonda and Ramsey Clark will lead a giant anti-war protest in Washington, D.C. - disgracing the war memorials there as they march to the Pentagon. A massive anti-war crowd is expected - March 17th is after all the 4th anniversary of the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Move America Forward [ http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org ] is proud to announce that we will be fighting back against all this negativity and disrespect towards our troops with a positive and patriotic national effort titled: "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN". ..." Read more in above link.
