Senator John Warner - Putting His Money Where His Mouth Was

Dear Senator Warner

Three months ago today, on October 6, 2006, you said the following in an interview with CBS News

"In two or three months, if this thing hasn't come to fruition and if this level of violence is not under control … I think it's the responsibility of our government, internally, to determine: Is there a change of course that we should take? And I wouldn't take off the table any option at this time," Warner told reporters on Thursday, reports CBS News Capitol Hill reporter John Nolen

It is now not only two months later but three. Are you going to stick to your word? Can we the people of Virginia expect you to come out opposing Bush's ridiculous proposal to send more American kids to their deaths in the killing fields of Iraq? Or were your words simply tough-talk leading up to the November 7 election?

I should hope by now that the Republican party has learned the lesson of November 7. We the people are fed up with Bush and the direction he is leading the country. Its now up to you and the members of Congress, and especially the Republican members of Congress who supported his every move without a question, to come down hard on the side of reason and reality.

The question now becomes: Does Senator Warner have the guts to put his money where his mouth was three months ago today?
