John Walsh's "Fillibuster" To End The War Needs More Signers Immediately
I signed this Fillibuster a great many months ago. Since then it has collected close to 6,000 signatures and are asking for more signatures to the fillibuster to end the war. Congress will be voting again on the war in September and him and others with him would be glad to have you sign if you haven't already. Here is the e-mail I recieved just today with links on how you can sign the on-line fillibuster.
Thank you for signing the Filibuster For Peace petition. With the
September war appropriations debate fast approaching, we must renew our call
for the U.S. Senate to filibuster any funding request that fails to
include funds to bring the troops home as quickly and safely as possible.
We have great news and bad news.
First the bad news: The deadly Iraqi occupation keeps dragging on and
on and on.
Now the great news: With a starting base of nearly 6,000 filibuster
signers, we have an opportunity to end this terrible quagmire.
The purpose of this message is to ask you to please locate another new
signer (e.g., a friend, coworker, brother, cousin, mom, etc.) to help
expose the filibuster option to the voting public. Generate as many new
signers as you can, and do it this week.
Why now?
Because in just a couple of weeks the Congress will be debating war
appropriations again, and the Senate - as the Republicans have routinely
demonstrated - has the power to filibuster any appropriations it doesn't
like. A filibuster in the Senate next month would effectively force an
end to the war. So if each of us does our part in exposing the
filibuster option, then we can apply tremendous pressure on our senators, the
likes of which they haven't felt in decades!
We absolutely must send a loud and clear message to the majority
Democrats: We now know about your filibuster option. We know that you need
just 41 votes to end the occupation. And therefore you will not be
fooling us again!
And the filibuster option is becoming more understood. With nothing
more than word-of-mouth advertizing, FilibusterForPeace.org has awakened
literally thousands of Americans in just a few months. And with the
polls finally favoring peace, we know that millions more Americans are out
there waiting to sign the filibuster petition - as soon as they hear
about it from someone like you!
SO WE ASK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO LOCATE MORE FILBUSTER SIGNERS AND ASK
OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
And ask new signers to locate still more NEW signers.
Please take a moment right now to think of one person you know who
agrees with you that it's time to rescue the troops. Then simply send him
or her a link to www.FilibusterForPeace.org
Ask him or her to sign the petition for the troops and their families.
Thank you again for helping expose the all-important filibuster option.

Just to point out that these
Just to point out that these three gentlemen are:
Their "filibuster" cause may be worthy of consideration, but they are NOT Progressive Democrats, and they do not support grassroots Democratic principles.
Grassroots Democrats
Gee, Bill, you just named three folks who are more in tune with what we Democrats want than the spineless Dems we voted in. They have my support!
Since your profile
Since your profile identifies your political affiliation as "Other-Left" (whatever that means) you are obviously not one of "we Democrats."
Fringe third-Party groups such as Libertarians and Greens, and their "followers," do absolutely nothing to advance the cause of real grassroots American Democrats, and are little more than spoilers.
Real grassroots Democrats are focused on helping Dr. Dean and the DNC to take our Party back from the DLC "New Democrat" centrist neocons. Real grassroots Democrats are working towards returning our Party to its rightful owners from within the framework of the Democratic Party. Supporting extremist and ineffective third-Parties will not accomplish any of these goals.
Has John Walsh(Greenie Jellyfish)signed on to HR 333...
as yet? Is he in a position to do something about something meaningful...or is he just another mugwump trying to get some unearned media attention?
Greenies and Libertarians are not worth much in this campaign. Independents are also not worth much since it is their peculiar breed that states over and over that if something doesn't happen they will take their votes and run--run to where they don't say.
I understand that Eritrea is always looking for new citizens.
