URGENT - Tell Carl & Debbie to Save Our Troops ASAP

If you go to Daily Kos or Democratic Underground, the big story on both of those websites is `the deal' in which certain Democratic leaders abandoned their party, the troops, and our country by backing down on benchmarks for bringing our troops home to safety.

Some would have us give up and concede that this bill will be passed without a fight.

The fact is, the battle is not over yet. The spending bill has not yet been passed. We cannot be like those aforementioned leaders and cower. Our troops need us.

We must make one last-ditch effort to support our troops. While our brave men and women fight over there in a war that was not of their choosing, we must fight for them back here.

Call Carl's Washington office at (202) 224-6221.
Call Debbie's Washington office at (202) 224-4822.
And don't forget your Representative.

Carl and Debbie supported our troops at the beginning, opposing this war when it wasn't popular to do so. Now the American people want our troops home; indeed, our country needs them home.

So please, folks, I implore you: For the sake of our brave men and women overseas, urge Carl and Debbie to oppose this ill-conceived spending bill.

Our troops are depending on us.

Stabenow can find redemption, maybe...

  For some of us there were two lunches available, the one from the Governor available in the Riverside Ballroom, and for 15th District folx, the one from Congressman Dingell. (See photo above) It doesn't hurt to be Dean of the U.S. House, I guess. No one starved, let's put it that way.

Glowing like she's radioactive. Or is it just my cell phone camera.
...Now you can call her "J. Glow" if you like

  (Also worth noting was Senator Carl Levin's comedic recognition that Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears should be the real news priority these days. At least I think he meant it as a joke...)

  And after all that, I was lucky enough to attend a birthday party for Ann Arbor blogger Laura Fisher, whose blog a later date is well worth checking out. (Have a look at her art gallery too.) What a day/night!

  See you at the next convention!
