To all Democrats who voted to support the war back in 2002

You know we're angry with what you did. We wrote, we called, we faxed and we pleaded to not support this war because we knew back then that there was no justification to send troops to Iraq.

But all work fell on deaf ears for 80 democrats in the House and 29 democrats in the Senate. For many of you, your decision was based on trying to resolve the concept of "What if the information that the Bush Administration is giving us actually for real". We now know today that the information was not truthful. We know that false information was provided in order to invade a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11 nor posed any threats on our country.

Fast forward 3+ years, 2000+ dead American soldiers and thousands of unnamed innocent Iraqi civilians, not to mention tens of thousands of our soldiers who will be permanently scarred for life: To you 109 Democrats that supported this war we now come to a point where you can do something to make it right. Rep. John Murtha was one of those 109 democrats that supported the war; he was one of the most hawkish of the group. And yet on November 17th, 2005, Rep. Murtha recognized that he made a mistake. He not only recognizes that the war is not going well but is actually causing more insurgency & terrorism and now is the time to bring our soldiers home. Saddam is out, elections are held - time for Iraq to stand on its own 2 feet and bring our troops home now.

So to the other 108 democrats who voted for this war and ESPECIALLY for those with upcoming elections in 2006, now is the time to make amends for the decision you made three years ago. Please stand with Rep John Murtha in calling for the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq. Now is the time to do the right thing!
