Call Joe Sestak About Iraq
by Chris Bowers, Wed Mar 14, 2007 at 11:18:40 AM EDT
I don't live in Joe Sestak's district anymore, but I did for a while. Also, my state committee district still extends out into the PA-07 (although I don't technically represent that part of the district). Further, even though the election was not all that close in the end, the MyDD community gave a lot of activism and resources to help Joe Sestak defeat Curt Weldon. I would like to help him again, but there is simply no way I can do so if even a pretty thoroughly watered down compromise bill on Iraq is too stringent for him on redeployment / withdrawal.
Today, I am asking you to call Joe Sestak's offices to ask him if he will support the upcoming Democratic bill on the Iraq supplemental. Considering the work the MyDD community has done for Sestak, I think we have a right to know.
Here are the numbers to call:
Local residents
Media, PA
Phone:(610) 892-8623
Fax:(610) 892-8628
Everyone else
Washington, DC
Phone: (202) 225-2011
Fax: (202) 226-0280
It greatly disappoints me that we have to take this step, but I think he needs to hear from people who helped him out.
Update: Jerome notes in the comments that Gillibrand has come out in favor of the supplemental. I've also heard much the same about Arcuri. That is good news. The thing that is so strange about Sestak is that he himself has a proposed a bill advocating withdrawal--so why isn't he more solid on the supplemental? Who knows--it could even be that he thinks the supplemental does not go far enough. The point is that we need to find out.
