Join Us at a Rally
Dear MoveOn member, Congress is about to send an important bill to the White Houseit would require the president to start bringing our troops home from Iraq this year. President Bush has said repeatedly he's going to veto it. It's outrageous. Most Americans support a timeline and he's standing in the way.
This will be a pivotal moment on Iraqit's not clear what Congress or the president will do after the veto. We need to make clear that President Bush is really vetoing the will of the American people. And we need to tell Congress to hold firm. There are already more than 200 rallies planned and it's really important to turn out in big numbers to get our message across. There is one right near you in Toledo. Can you make it tomorrow? Here are the details:

Now there is a plan on the table that will finally start bringing our troops homebut the president is going to veto it. By doing so, he's vetoing the will of the people. Congress has two options on how to respondthey can either cave to the president's pressure or stand strong and demand accountability from him on Iraq. Members of Congress are going to be gauging public reaction in the next few days to decide which path they'll follow. There's also a fun twist to these rallies: We'll be using noisemakers to demonstrate that President Bush and Congress cannot ignore us any longerour voices must be heard. As Senator Feingold recently wrote:
By carrying out his veto threat, the President will mark yet another sad day in the history of this war. But that veto should be seen as a rallying cry for the vast majority of Americans who believe that the time has come to again stand up, and stand together, with one voice, and demand a policy that makes senseone that puts our country and our national security first. A policy that makes America safer, not weaker.2
Now is the time to take a strong stand against the president's reckless policy in Iraq. Together, we'll show the media and Congress that we won't stand for another blank check for the president on the war. Can you join us? Click below to search for a rally near you.
