Loading ...Open Letter To Senator Specter
July 20th, 2007 by SteveSenator Specter,
To say that I am disappointed with your support of your party’s filibuster yesterday is a great understatement. I am absolutely disgusted with your craven support of the President and his failed war. Your constituents have long been opposed to this war, and opposed to President Bush. Why you carry water for him is beyond me. While you have done some good actions, such as your support for stem cell research and attempts to reinstate habeas corpus, your refusal to even allow an up or down vote on this issue is unacceptable. You are fortunate that you do not face reelection until after Bush leaves office; however, some of us will remember your actions, and we will do everything in our power to let you enjoy retirement. I only hope you have a change of heart on this issue and give the American people what they want: an end to this disastrous, unnecessary war.
Stephen Mann
If anyone else lives in a state with a “moderate” or “doubting” republican who voted the wrong way on the filibuster, drop them a line. Besides Specter, the list includes:
Norm Coleman of Minnesota
Pete Domenici of New Mexico
Dick Lugar of Indiana
John Sununu of New Hampshire
George Voinovich of Ohio
John Warner of Virginia
Be polite, but firm.

Not all American people want out. Especially American soldiers, marines, airmen, and seamen. I like the general blanket statements you put out. Too bad it’s not really true. Nice try though.

Wow! So apparently the new goalpost for anything to get done is for “all” Americans to want something. Nonetheless, consistent majorities (60+%) in poll after poll express opposition to the war and a desire to withdraw all troops within a year.
p.s. When hiding behind our troops, make sure you actually know what they think. Most troops think we should not have gone to Iraq… but they will fight no matter what because it is their duty.
