We won!!! 149 Members (147 Democrats and 2 Republicans) voted against $163B in Iraq occupation funds, and only 141 Members voted for it. (Roll Call below).

Those 149 no votes were the result of your protests, emails, and calls - congratulations!!!

Speaker Pelosi knew a majority of Democrats opposed the funds, but she pushed the vote anyway, assuming Republicans would provide the votes needed to approve the funds. But 132 Republicans decided to vote "present" to protest the outrageous and un-democratic procedures Pelosi used to bring the bill to the floor. According to Politico,

Many liberal Democrats, overjoyed that the measure failed, burst into applause after the vote was brought to a close. “The war is over!” screamed Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) on the House floor.

Of course, this is just a temporary win. The Senate will vote on funding, and if it passes the Senate, it will come back to the House. So call your two Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them both to vote no on Iraq occupation funds. 

And if your House Representative voted against the funds, please call 202-224-3121 to thank him or her!

Update 1: Are the newest Democrats conservative, as BlueDogs argue? Howie Klein provides a great breakdown of the freshmen:

The most credible freshman on the Iraq war, the only one to have served in it, is Patrick Murphy, a right-of-center moderate from Pennsylvania. Murphy voted against Emanuel, Hoyer, Bush, McCain and Cheney. He voted against the prolongation of the war Emanuel, Hoyer, Bush, McCain and Cheney are so adamant to keep going. Patrick was joined by Democratic freshmen Mike Arcuri (NY), Bruce Braley (IA), Kathy Castor (FL), Yvette Clarke (NY), Steve Cohen (TN), Joe Courtney (CT), Keith Ellison (MN), John Hall (NY), Phil Hare (IL), Mazie Hirono (HI), Paul Hodes (NH), Hank Johnson (GA), Steve Kagen (WI), Ron Klein (FL), Dave Loebsack (IA), Jerry McNerney (CA), Chris Murphy (CT), Ed Perlmutter (CO), Carol Shea-Porter (NH), Albio Sires (NJ), Jackie Speier (CA), Niki Tsongas (MA), Peter Welch (VT) and John Yarmuth (KY). The Democratic freshmen-- of all ideological stripes-- voted in greater proportions against the war than the Democratic caucus as a whole did. Emanuel fed Hulse bad information and, lazy hack that he is, Hulse just ate it up and farted it out, as he always does.

Almost the only Democratic freshmen-- along with newcomers Cazayoux and Foster-- who voted to prolong the war were the ones who routinely rubber stamp Bush and frequently vote with the GOP minority: Jason Altmire (PA), Nancy Boyda (KS), Chris Carney (PA), Joe Donnelly (IN), Brad Ellsworth (IN), Gabby Giffords (AZ), Baron Hill (IN), Nick Lampson (TX), Tim Mahoney (FL), Harry Mitchell (AZ), Ciro Rodriguez (TX), Joe Sestak (PA), Heath Shuler (NC), Zach Space (OH), Tim Walz (MN) and Charlie Wilson (OH).
