I'm lucky to have Congressman Jim Moran (D) and Senator Jim Webb (D) representing me. And, on occasion I'm also proud of Senator John Warner. However Warner is on record supporting the foolish escalation of troop numbers in Iraqnam and that has to be changed.
I sent him the following letter today. Check to see if your Congressman or Senator(s) likewise support Bush's escalation. If so, send a variation of my letter to them and hopefully straighten out their midguided thinking.
Dear Senator Warner
I am deeply disappointed to learn of your continued support for the ill-advised "surge" of American troops to be killed for Bush's lies in Iraq.

In response to Bush's "surge" speech the other night you said:
“I found the speech to be credible and sincere. And it does lay down a plan that reflects a lot of study by the executive branch, a lot of advice and opinion that the president took into consideration.”
Good God, Senator, you can call Bush "sincere" and "credible" even after he has repeatedly lied to you, me and the fencepost about Iraq?? Is it "credible" to be told about a grave threat from weapons of mass destruction (that Bush's dad sold to Saddam) when they didn't exist any longer? Is it "sincere" to not take action on a report that Osama bin Laden was determined to attack inside the United States (Presidential Daily Briefing, August 6, 2001). How can you, a man of education and refinement, find it inside you to support for one second Bush's plans to get more Americans killed to mollify his ego?
How on earth can you sleep at night?
I am not only asking you but begging you to reverse your position on this hideous waste of human life, natural resources and taxpayer dollars. Its time that Bush's folly in Iraq be brought to a much-deserved close. I ask that you change your view and oppose this mistake that grows like a cancer more and more each day.
