MoveOn Mobilizing to Fight Escalation of Iraq War

On Wednesday night, President Bush is going to use a primetime speech to the nation to announce an escalation of the war in Iraq, in which the U.S. will send up to an additional 20,000 soldiers to try and stop the civil war that we created.

Instead of listening to the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group, which advocated a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops, Bush wants to send more American men and women to die in Iraq.

MoveOn.org is organizing a massive petition that will be sent to members of Congress urging them to stand up to Bush and his war machine and demand and end to, rather than an escalation of this war. Some Democrats in both houses of Congress have already come out against Bush's escalation plan, and hopefully more will do the same. The Angry Progressives fully support this stance by Moveon, and urge you to sign the petition and send it to friends and family.
