From John Edwards: "Tell Congress: No Funding for Escalation"

A MESSAGE FROM JOHN EDWARDS '08
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Tonight, President Bush is expected to adopt the McCain Doctrine
and announce his plan to send up to 20,000 more troops to Iraq.
That is a grave mistake.

The president's decision is wrong for Iraq and wrong for America
-- and it's time for the new Congress to stop Bush from
stubbornly pursuing his failed strategy in Iraq.

Congress should make it clear to the president that he will not
get any money to put more of our troops in harm's way until he
provides a plan to turn responsibility of Iraq over to the Iraqi
people and to ultimately leave Iraq.

funding for Bush's escalation of the war in Iraq:

The situation in Iraq demands a political solution -- not an
escalation of the war that our generals agree won't help.

Escalating the war in Iraq sends the wrong message to the Iraqi
people, to the region, and the world.

To get the Iraqis to begin to take responsibility for their
country, we must show them that we are serious about leaving. And
the best way to do that is by actually starting to leave --
beginning by immediately withdrawing 40,000-50,000 of our troops,
not escalating the war.

George Bush wants to dig a deeper hole, but we need to climb out.
Join me in calling on Congress to block funding for Bush's
escalation in Iraq:

Only when the U.S. starts leaving will the Iraqi people and other
regional powers be forced to step up and engage in the search for
a political solution -- and bring an end to the sectarian
violence.

This president has had nearly four years to get Iraq right -- and
at every step, he's gotten it wrong. Tonight, he's more wrong
than ever about what America needs to do. It's time for Congress
to act. And it's time for America to begin leaving Iraq.

Tell Congress to stop Bush's escalation of the war:

Thank you for taking action,

John Edwards

P.S. Please forward this email on to everyone you know --
Congress needs to hear from all of us that the American people
are opposed to escalating the war in Iraq.
