Smack, smack...smack...

You know, if he hadn't done this to himself, I'd almost feel bad for George.

He has the lowest polling any president EVER. He is like, below NIXON just before he resigned. He gave his state of the union last night and asked, rather pleaded, with the country and the congress to "give his plan a chance to work". His domestic ideas (wait, he actually did use the term "climate change" last night) are already are being criticised by environmentalists, True Majority has already sent out an email asking us to ask George about revamping our health care system, and the Foreign Relations Committee voted down his plan 12-9 today...but of course, it is a non-binding resolution that George can ignore-and will...so in a way...what's the point? Well, part of the point is the statement Congress made AND that Chuck Hagel (R) tore him a new one essentially.

Even General Petraeus, the general Bush hired to, you know, agree with him, said that while he supports the escalation, he will declare failure if is warranted (which is, right now, but you know, that's just me...)

I mentioned this before and I'll mention it again, if ever there was a time to nag your Congressfolk, this is it. We cannot let this escalation occur. They cannot give him any more money for this war...unless those funds are going to be going to taking our soldiers OUT.

IN THE MEANTIME...you might nag the press a bit as well through the week. Over the weekend, there United For Peace and Justice and numerous other groups are marching in Washington for peace. I, sadly, cannot be there, but if you can be there, GO! and you know who else should be there? THE PRESS...covering this puppy! There should be more than a little blip on the news about this. There needs to be REAL coverage of this march as no doubt there is going to be a substantial crowd and George ('s people) need to see again that the American people are serious. We are DONE with Iraq.

Keep emailing folks. Call, write, fax, email and let them all know that you are paying attention!!

Peace -Alex
