There were no terrorists in Iraq to go to war AGAINST, except ones the Bush and Cheney themselves elevated by their reckless occupation. And continuing the occupation there will just breed two more local insurgents for every one they pick off in a photo-op bombing.
It's time for Congress to fufill the promise of the November elections to stop the war in Iraq, and the only assurance we have that they will actually do that is if we CONTINUE to call and write them, again and again, until they finally realize we in fact expect them to do it.

Republicans Knew Mark Foley Was A Pedophile, Why Did They Do Nothing And Let A Child Suffer?
Mark Foley's Press Secretary said it was only a partisan attack. Mark Foley claimed the email was innocent. Then ABC News confronted Foley with explicit sexual messages he sent to House Pages. A few hours later, Mark Foley resigned from Congress in disgrace.
America then learned the Page who got the disgusting email from Foley reported it to the Republican Leadership months before - but they did absolutely nothing about it. In fact, Speaker Of The House Dennis Hastert not only ignored the danger posed by Foley, they made sure news of his crimes did not leak out.
All of which means the Republican Leadership of Congress helped put other Pages at risk from this known Pedophile.
So you've just got to ask: if Republicans are willing to sacrifice children for the sake of political gain, how can we as Americans ever trust them?
But even more importantly, if the Republican leadership is unwilling to do anything about this ugly situation - how can I, as a citizen, make damned sure it never happens again?
You can write your senator of Congressional representative and demand that Representative Pelosi's investigation go forward. Because if it doesn't, the disgusting acts of Mark Foley will continue to be swept under the rug!
This is your chance to make sure the Republican leadership is not allowed to keep the door open for more assaults on our Pages by known pedophiles.
It's not a Democratic or Republican issue. It's a matter of right or wrong. It's about making sure we protect our children. No one, Republican or Democrat, can afford to stand by while outrages like this go on!
Use your letter to let everyone know .... PROTECT OUR CHILDREN .... NOT OUR POLITICIANS.
