Support Webb Amendment

Back in July, Sen. Webb's amendment to require that our troops get as much time at home as they do in Iraq, what he calls a 1:1 deployment-to-dwell ratio, received 56 votes, 4 shy of the 60 it needs to go to an up and down vote. Time to let your senators know you expect them to support it this time around.

E-mail them through Sen. Webb's Born Fighting site or call them at 202-224-3121. The following senators could use the most coaxing, especially John Warner who's announced he's "reconsidering" his support for the amendment.

Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)
DC: 202-224-6665
Anchorage: 907-271-3735

George Voinovich (R-Ohio)
DC: (202) 224-3353
Cleveland: (216) 522-7095

Elizabeth Dole (R-North Carolina)

Raleigh: 866-420-6083

John Warner (R-Virginia)
DC: (202) 224-2023

Re: Support Webb Amendment

Why wouldn't we FORCE them to filibuster this one?

What better video for 2008 than the GOP filibustering supporting the troops to spend more time with family?

Re: Support Webb Amendment

I agree.  That would be a 2008 campaign ad in the making.

Re: Support Webb Amendment

Asking Ditsy Dole for a sensible vote on anything?  Just f*rt in the wind, it will do as much good.
