Event

 
I covered the press conference announcing the discharge petition on H J 
Res 55 mentioned below (my article is forthcoming). These courageous 
members of Congress deserve our help. Find out if your Representative is 
already a member. If not, call them and ask that they to join the Out of 
Iraq Caucus and support their strategy and legislation. A complete list 
of the 'Out of Iraq' Caucus members is here:
