33,061 people have signed The Pledge thus far. Will you?
If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.
Who were the two brave Dems who voted no?
I cannot believe Mark Kirk (IL) is on this list. He is my congressman and has been a solid military supporter, and BUsh/GOPer for years. I left his office a VM asking for his explanation. I am outraged that he used my vote for him in this manner!
Consider signing the NRSC Pledge... link in #34.
THIS has already been my policy the past year or two.
Whenever a House GOP Committee or Senate Repub Committee person calls on the phone - I give that money grubber hell, telling them that I contribute ONLY to those individual Republicans who do not sell out our military in the War against Islamofascists.
Nor will I contribute to any generic Republican committee which gives money to anyone who fails to support a southern US-Mexico wall/fence.
I spend 10 minutes telling the money grubber why I will never again contribute to any generic Republican committee, I dont care HOW MUCH they are desperate for money.
Since last year, I've told RNC via returning their letters for money and when they've called for money, I will give no more money until they get the Republican Senators and House members to stand with the President and do what's right for the country vs following the 'poll of the day'.
I keep getting letters and surveys and I send them back with my comments and no money. Sure they're probably dumped in circular file but, I have to keep trying.
If only the true majority.... Americans who love this country....would speak out. But, they don't. I belong to 4 Republican Clubs. I continually urge people to call or email Congress.......I can probably count those that do so on one hand. I pray they will wake up before it's truly too late.
