Some Democrats are seemingly trying to change the course

And here some voices from Democrats that I support. I hope they are sincere in their mission to stop the senseless killing and dying in an illegal occupation and a civil war which was actually caused by the ignorance of the US leadership. After thoughtfully committing High Treason in outing the CIA agents who could have provided the intelligence that so obviously lacking in the entire leadership of our country, including House and Senate. While drowning in fear they also threaten to abolish the last civil right that was left. Free Speech. Let's see how our US will try to avoid comparisons with Nazi Germany. Good Luck and Good Night. Here the Democrat's voices that are seemingly in the minority:

Stop $70B More for Iraq: Shut Down Congress' Phones
Submitted by Bob Fertik on December 10, 2007 - 3:49pm.
Once again our Democratic "leaders" are betraying our troops by keeping them in Iraq forever to be murdered or maimed for no reason except the insatiable greed of Bush-Cheney's oil cronies.

On Tuesday, House Democrats plan to approve $30 billion more for Afghanistan. Then Senate Democrats plan to approve $70 billion to cover Iraq as well. Then House Democrats plan to approve the full $70 billion.

Why are our Democratic "leaders" betraying us? Because they want Bush to sign - not veto - the $522 billion omnibus spending bill to fund the government this year. We have no Democratic "leaders" - we have utterly incompetent negotiators who lose 100% of their battles, no matter how much public support they have.

Our Democrats in Congress clearly do not care about the voters who elect them, whether Democrats or Independents, virtually all of whom want them to end the disastrous occupation of Iraq now. Our Democrats in Congress do not care about the troops fighting in Iraq and their families, who oppose the occupation even more than the rest of us, by 69% to 64%. The only support for the occupation of Iraq comes from hard-core Bush Republican voters who never vote for Democrats.

Who do Democrats in Congress actually care about? The donors who fund them - period. So call your Representatives and Senators with a simple message: Not one more penny for Iraq - or not one more penny for your campaign. If you have ever contributed to your Representatives or Senators or to any Democratic committee, be sure to tell them how much you will not give them.
Let's all call Monday and Tuesday (between 9-5 ET) and shut down the Congressional phone system . Call your Representatives directly:

And join the Democratic Donor Strike against the DCCC and DSCC http://democrats.com/donor-strike-2007

More from our friends at United For Peace and Justice:
Gather some friends together and pay a visit to one or more of your legislators. Stop by during lunch if that is convenient. Emphatically demand an end to the occupation. Your peaceful visit can be brief, or last long enough for your to read the names of every civilian and soldier killed in Iraq, or it can last until the member of Congress agrees to oppose all funding that is not tied to the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops and contractors.

If you are able to organize a visit, post notice of the visit here: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?sortby=&caltype=59
Otherwise click to see if someone in your area has already organized a visit - enter your zip code and increase the search miles to find a protest near you.

I could not agree more and strongly support the effort! Is there really just one party? The Money Party?
