Whatcom County Democrats Launch Campaign to Stop Escalation of Iraq War and Bring Troops Home
In response to the President's recent speeches, we, the Whatcom County Democratic Party, are today launching an on-going campaign to stop the President's plan to not only continue the occupation of Iraq but to escalate the war as well. President Bush isn't listening. The election last year was a clear mandate from the people of America to end the occupation of Iraq as quickly as possible. The American people want our troops withdrawn from Iraq, but President Bush wants to send tens of thousands more of our people into harm's way and to keep them there fighting for years to come. If this conflict is ever to end, we must exercise our responsibilities as members of a democratic society. Since the nation has placed Democrats in control of both houses of Congress, this is an exciting time to support our representatives, Senators Cantwell and Murray and Rep. Larsen as they oppose the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. We are asking for voters in Whatcom County to contact their Congressional delegation to let them know we are behind them in their vigorous opposition to path the President is pursuing. Here in Whatcom County we are organizing a phone and email campaign to let Senators Cantwell and Murray and Rep. Larsen know that we are proud to have our Democrats in Congress taking action against continuing the administration's failed policy. In the coming days we will be announcing other activities that will be part of the Whatcom County Democrats on-going campaign to end the war and bring the troops home now.
